Mathematical modeling of the cardiac action potential has proven to be a powerful tool for
illuminating various aspects of cardiac function, including cardiac arrhythmias. However, no …

Bone tissue engineering using polymer based scaffolds have been studied a lot in last
decades. Considering the qualities of all the polymers desired to be used as scaffolds, …

Background Left and bilateral cardiac sympathetic denervation (CSD) have been shown to
reduce burden of ventricular arrhythmias acutely in a small number of patients with …

Importance Identifying patients at high risk of adverse outcomes prior to surgery may allow
for interventions associated with improved postoperative outcomes; however, few tools exist …

Vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) has been proposed as a cardioprotective intervention. However,
regional ventricular electrophysiological effects of VNS are not well characterized. The …

The keynote to understanding cardiac function is recognizing the underlying architecture
responsible for the contractile mechanisms that produce the narrowing, shortening, lengthening…

Background— Reducing sympathetic output to the heart from the neuraxis can protect
against ventricular arrhythmias. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of thoracic …

The autonomic nervous system regulates all aspects of normal cardiac function, and is
recognized to play a critical role in the pathophysiology of many cardiovascular diseases. As such…

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to compare the characteristics and prevalence of
late potentials (LP) in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) and ischemic …

Real-time monitoring of harmful gases is of great significance to identify the environmental
hazards to people’s lives. However, this application scenario requiring low-power …
