Association between P-wave terminal force in lead V1 and extent of left atrial low-voltage substrate in older patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation
The P-wave terminal force in lead V1 (PTFV1) is a marker of cardiomyopathy and risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). Low-voltage area (LVA) in the left atrium (LA), which indicates underlying atrial fibrosis, could p...

Surgical intervention for cardiac tamponade during atrial fibrillation ablation: who and when?—a single-center experience
The critical decision between conservative therapy and surgical intervention to manage cardiac tamponade (CT) during atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation remains empirical. The aim of the study was to summarize t...

Participants’ livelihoods compatible with conservation programs: evidence from China’s grain-for-green program in northern Shaanxi Province
As the largest conservation program and payments for ecosystem services in China, the grain-for-green program (GGP) has substantially changed land use and cover, and reduced soil erosion in participating areas...

Atrial involvement and progression of sinus node dysfunction in non-senile patients: evidences from electroanatomic map** and long-term follow-up
Sinus node inability or conduction disorders of its surrounding atrial myocardium cause sinus node dysfunction (SND). This study aimed to characterize right atrium (RA) substrates and long-term atrial lead per...

Clinical and electrophysiological characteristics predicting the re-ablation outcome for atrial fibrillation patients
Re-ablation has an important role in the control of recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) post the first ablation. The present study was to report the outcome of AF re-ablation for patients who recurred after ini...

Open AccessStructural and electrophysiological dysfunctions due to increased endoplasmic reticulum stress in a long-term pacing model using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived ventricular cardiomyocytes
Long-term ventricular pacing has deleterious effects and becomes more significant when cumulative percent ventricular pacing (Cum%VP) exceeds 40% of time. However, cellular disturbances and pathways by which p...

miR-143 decreases prostate cancer cells proliferation and migration and enhances their sensitivity to docetaxel through suppression of KRAS
MicroRNAs have been implicated in regulating diverse cellular pathways. Emerging evidence indicates that miR-143 plays causal roles in cancer tumorigenesis as a tumor suppress gene; however, its role in prosta...
