Researchers have identified a new gene responsible for a rare, inherited form of sudden cardiac arrest, known as Brugada syndrome. Using positional cloning and gene sequencing on an affected family, ...

A new paper published by Stanford University researchers in the nature Journal confirms the utility of smart watches for identifying arrhythmias in children. Arrhythmia symptoms are frequent ...

Having an accelerated junctional rhythm occurs when the atrioventricular node in your heart beats too quickly. It happens as a result of damage to your heart’s primary natural pacemaker. There’s no ...

Three studies demonstrate how Philips MCOT wearable ambulatory monitoring ECG and proprietary AI models applied to ECG digital biomarkers can help to improve diagnosis, reduce readmissions, and lower ...

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a sudden, unexpected death caused by a change in heart rhythm (sudden cardiac arrest). It is the largest cause of natural death in the U.S., causing between 180,000 to ...

In the normal heart, the lower chambers (ventricles) pump at the same time and in sync with the heart's upper chambers (atria). Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), also called biventricular ...

Less than 1 percent of the population has been diagnosed with Long QT syndrome – a rare heart condition that can cause chaotic, sometimes fatal, heart rhythms. Now, Virginia Tech researchers at the ...
