Triggering of nocturnal arrhythmias by sleep-disordered breathing events.

Nov 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study sought to evaluate respiratory disturbances as potential triggers for arrhythmia in patients with sleep-disordered breathing (SDB). BACKGROUND: SDB is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation and nonsustained ... Read more...

Electrocardiographic characteristics at initial diagnosis in patients with isolated left ventricular noncompaction.

29 Sep 2009 Isolated ventricular noncompaction (IVNC) is a primary cardiomyopathy characterized by a specific morphologic pattern. Patients with IVNC can develop various arrhythmic complications such as life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias, as well as heart ... Read more...

Neuronal nitric oxide synthase protects against myocardial infarction-induced ventricular arrhythmia and mortality in mice.

19 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) is expressed in cardiomyocytes and plays a role in regulating cardiac function and Ca2+ homeostasis. However, the role of nNOS in cardiac electrophysiology after myocardial infarction (MI) is ... Read more...
