atrioventricular block/tyrosine

Ganglionated plexus (GP) ablation has been shown effective for eliminating atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common clinical tachyarrhythmia. However, the safety of destroying the main cardiac autonomic structures remains unclear. This study investigated the acute effects of GP ablation on the

Investigations in 13 hospitalized patients with pheochromocytomata showed peculiar characteristics of heart rate variation at rest, when compared with normals. All patients were given alpha- and beta-sympatholytic drugs. In one case alpha-methyl-Tyrosine caused I-II degree AV blocks and a stable

Cancer chemotherapies have improved prognosis in cancer patients, resulting in a large and rapidly increasing number of cancer survivors. "Onco-cardiology" or "cardio-oncology" is a new discipline for addressing the unanticipated cardiac side effects of newly developed cancer

OBJECTIVE We sought to develop a high-yield canine model of sudden cardiac death (SCD). BACKGROUND Because electrical stimulation is a powerful means to elicit nerve sprouting, we hypothesize that subthreshold electrical stimulation is more effective than nerve growth factor (NGF) infusion in

It is recognized that stress can induce cardiac dysfunction, but the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. The present study aimed to test the hypothesis that chronic negative stress leads to alterations in DNA methylation of certain cardiac genes, which in turn contribute to pathologic
