Numerous factors can contribute to sudden cardiac death, from underlying disease after myocardial infarction to genetic variants that can claim young lives. In 'Bedside to Bench', Stanley Nattel ...

Young, trained athletes may have abnormal 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECGs) without evidence of structural cardiac disease. Whether such ECG patterns represent the initial expression of underlying ...

Early repolarization is a common finding in young, healthy individuals. It appears as mild ST segment elevation that can be diffuse; however, it is more prominent in the precordial leads. The ST ...

Primary repolarization abnormalities such as ST or T wave changes are associated with higher risk of CHD mortality; however, the prevalence of primary repolarization abnormalities is low and their ...

January 9, 2008 (Rome, Italy) – An abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) in a young, highly trained athlete might be the first expression of underlying cardiomyopathy, a new study suggests, and might not ...

The first ever genetically modified porcine-to-human cardiac xenotransplant, providing new insight into a novel and evolving field. The first ever genetically modified porcine-to-human cardiac ...

Early repolarization, which is characterized by an elevation of the QRS–ST junction (J point) in leads other than V 1 through V 3 on 12-lead electrocardiography, has been associated with vulnerability ...
