متن کاملArrhythmia Risk and Arterial Stiffness
The relationship between increased heart rate and pulse wave velocity (PWV) is explained by the autonomic tone, functional changes of the elastic fibers in the vascular wall, increased metabolic rate leading to an increased oxidative stress and low grade inflammation. The most important links between PR interval prolongation and increased arterial stiffness are neurohormonal pathways and aging....
متن کاملMetabolic gene defects and risk of arrhythmia
Inherited single-gene disorders offer unique insights into the role of metabolic processes in arrhythmogenesis. Although many metabolic defects result in cardiomyopathy as a physiologic compensation, it is clear that specific perturbations are associated with particular arrhythmias. Metabolic gene defects may cause arrhythmia through many different pathways, including developmental effects on c...
