Shifts in the site of initial activation within or away from the SA node to other ectopic sites can lead to major changes in the pattern of atrial activation and, hence, in the morphology of P waves. These shifts can occur either as escape rhythms if the normal SA nodal pacemaker fails or as accelerated ectopic rhythms if the automaticity of an ectopic site is enhanced Chap. 35 . The resulting ...

Coronary arteriography remains the standard for identifying the presence or absence of arterial narrowings related to atherosclerotic coronary sartery disease (CAD) and provides the most reliable anatomical information for determining the appropriateness of medical therapy, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in patients with ischemic CAD. Fi...

Role of personalized medicine in cardiovascular disease: A narrative review

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality each year. Both environmental and genetic risk factors significantly influence the incidence and progression of these diseases. In recent decades, with the development of genetics and genome-determining tools, different genes have been found associated with numerous diseases. Determining these genes helps us to suggest a more effective ...
