Hypothermieinduzierte EKG-Veränderungen: charakteristisch, aber nicht spezifisch
Hypothermieinduzierte J‑ bzw. sog. Osborn-Wellen lassen sich unter therapeutischer Hypothermie in 20–40 % der Fälle nachweisen. Das Auftreten von J‑Wellen im Rahmen des zielgerichteten Temperaturmanagements na...

Sequenom MassARRAY approach in the arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy post-mortem setting: clinical and forensic implications
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare cardiac disease characterized by myocardial fibrofatty replacement, which can lead to sudden death. Previous studies have described a reduction ...

Discrete element modelling of geomechanical behaviour of methane hydrate soils with pore-filling hydrate distribution
Methane hydrate soil is a natural soil deposit that contains methane hydrate in its pores. The micro-scale processes of the geomechanical behaviour of methane hydrate-bearing soils are investigated by the Disc...

How Common Is a Genetic Origin of Atrial Fibrillation?
Few disciplines will have the impact of molecular genetics. Cardiology has benefited from its techniques and, since 1989, with the discovery of the first chromosomal locus for a cardiac disease, multiple disea...

The Syndrome of Right Bundle Branch Block, ST Segment Elevation in V1 to V3 and Sudden Death. Are Asymptomatic Patients at High Risk for Sudden Death?
In 1992 a new syndrome consisting of syncopal episodes and/or sudden death in patients with a structurally normal heart and a characteristic electrocardiogram (ECG) with a pattern of right bundle branch block ...

Pharmacological Modulation of Reentrant Excitation in Experimental Models
The existence of reentrant excitation is determined by the interplay between the conduction velocity of the cardiac impulse and the refractory period of the myocardium. Therefore, pharmacological agents that c...

Cardiac Complications of Local Anesthetic Agents
Local anesthetic drugs can induce potentially severe toxic accidents following accidental intravascular injection or significant tissue resorption. The severity of the accident depends on the potency of the lo...

Use of Adenosine as an Antiarrhythmic Agent
Since the classical observation of Drury and Szent-Gyorgyi (1929), it has been known that adenosine and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) exert pronounced electrophysiological effects on the mammalian heart. Subsequen...
