Delayed cases of total atrioventricular block (AVB) or complete heart block can occur more than 2 days after TAVI, two new studies affirm, highlighting the utility of extended ECG monitoring after ...

Researchers at the Yale Cardiovascular Data Science (CarDS) Lab have developed an artificial intelligence (AI)-based model for clinical diagnosis that can use electrocardiogram (ECG) images, ...

Electrocardiogram (ECG) measures taken after the first pig-to-human heart transplant found significantly different electrical conduction characteristics compared to those seen in native pig hearts ...

SAN FRANCISCO, CA — Treatment with the ACE inhibitor lisinopril may lower the development of conduction-system disease in patients with hypertension and at least one cardiac risk factor, new research ...

You are reviewing an ECG you arranged for a 56-year-old man with newly diagnosed hypertension. The trace is normal but the computerised report notes ‘first-degree heart block’. Looking at the ...

2:1 atrioventricular block is a form of second-degree AV nodal block and occurs when every other P wave is not conducted through the AV node to get to the ventricles, and thus every other P wave is ...

Wearable devices and smartphone-based apps are becoming ever more popular for patients who want a personalized tool to track their CV metrics. But a new study takes a different tack, asking: could ...

This is a narrow complex tachycardia with a rate of 124 beats/min. The QRS morphology and axis are normal. The QTc is prolonged, at 529 ms (normal, 390-450 ms for men). The underlying P waves appear ...

Implementing large-scale ECG screening before high school sport participation could detect heart abnormalities that carry the risk of sudden cardiac death if left unchecked, a researcher reported.
