Background: Seizure disorders are common in infants and children. Cardiac dysrhythmias may manifest clinically as seizure disorders which, if missed, may cause serious consequences. Objective: To investigate the electrocardiogram, conduction and rhythm disturbances in a group of patients in pediatric age group clinically presenting as various types of seizures Methods: We studied electrocardiog...

The heart functions as a syncytium of cardiac myocytes and surrounding supportive non-myocytes such as fibroblasts. There is a possibility that a variety of non-myocyte-derived factors affect the maturation of cardiac myocytes in the development of the heart. Cultured neonatal cardiac myocytes contract spontaneously and cyclically. The fluctuation of beating rhythm varies depending on the stren...

This review explains the role of point-of-care ultrasound in cardiac arrest rhythm classification and diagnosis reversible causes, discusses available protocols for application to Advanced Cardiac Life Support, summarizes principles its safe implementation.

The morning shift in cardiac sympatho-vagal balance seems involved in the increased risk of cardiovascular incidents at that time. To investigate the contribution of the biological clock in autonomic cardiac control, we investigated the presence of a diurnal rhythm independent of external factors, and of a circadian phase-dependent effect of moderate light in healthy volunteers. Recordings of h...
