In an era where hospitals are discharging patients earlier and earlier after transcatheter aortic valve replacement, researchers are warning physicians to be cautious about the development of late ...

Given today's short hospital stays after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), there may be a role for selective long-term monitoring to flag delayed conduction abnormalities, studies showed.

Mutations in homeoprotein NKX2-5 are linked to human congenital heart disease, resulting in various cardiac anomalies, as well as in postnatal progressive conduction defects and occasional left ...

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 ...

In this article, the focus is on abnormalities in rhythm and electrical conduction that can be identified on an ECG. Cardiac arrhythmias and conduction defects are common. They can be an acute problem ...

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 ...

Wide QRS regular tachycardia is present in Figure 1. No definite P waves are identifiable. There is one PVC in the lower tracing. During the compensatory pause, there is definitely a P wave (↓ on ...
