What Is the Heart Conduction System? The heart conduction system is made up of cells, nodes, and signals that help your heart to beat. In fact, the cardiac conduction system is responsible for our ...

Sept. 25 (UPI) --Researchers have succeeded in creating a digital twin that for the first time replicates the heart's electrical conduction system, which coordinates heartbeats, a new study says. The ...

During a severe heart attack many heart muscle cells die and are replaced by scar tissue to stabilize the heart wall. Connective tissue cells, known as fibroblasts (FB), are the dominant cell type in ...

Medtronic has secured a new approval from the FDA that expands the flexibility of its pacemaker hardware, allowing it to tap into the heart’s natural electrical signals. Known as conduction system ...

Electrical problems in the heart can often lead to serious and fatal complications including complete heart block or heart failure. Left ventricular conduction disease occurs when there is an ...

The sinoatrial (SA) node is the natural pacemaker of the heart. It generates electrical impulses that cause the heart’s chambers to contract, setting the heart rate. The SA node typically generates 60 ...
