When high doses of AV blocking drugs are not successful to lower ventricular rates in the setting of atrial fibrillation, AV node ablation can be utilized. Remember that all atrial action potentials ...

The atrioventricular node (AV Node) is a bundle of conduction cells that regulate the communication of atrial electrical activity with ventricular electrical activity. The AV node has a long ...

The atrioventricular node (AVN) has mystified generations of investigators over the last century and continues today to be at the epicenter of debates among anatomists, experimentalists, and ...

Atrioventricular (AV) nodal ablation with pacing is an alternative therapeutic option in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and difficult-to-control ventricular rates that are unresponsive to ...

Having an accelerated junctional rhythm occurs when the atrioventricular node in your heart beats too quickly. It happens as a result of damage to your heart’s primary natural pacemaker. There’s no ...

In this prospective, multicenter clinical trial, we randomly assigned patients with symptomatic, drug-resistant atrial fibrillation, an ejection fraction of 40% or less, and New York Heart Association ...

In patients with atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD), the occurrence of nonsurgical AV block has been reported. We have looked for an explanation in the development of the AV conduction system.

...little data exist on the use of catheter ablation for AVNRT in elderly patients... Cardiovascular interventional therapies are often withheld from elderly patients, owing to a perceived increase in ...

This Journal feature begins with a case vignette highlighting a common clinical problem. Evidence supporting various strategies is then presented, followed by a review of formal guidelines, when they ...

Your heart's job is to keep your pulse steady to pump blood throughout your body. Sometimes your heart rate is slower when you're relaxing, and sometimes it's faster when you're exercising or stressed ...
