Circadian rhythms of early afterdepolarizations and ventricular arrhythmias in a cardiomyocyte model

payt.helady61 shared this article with you from Inoreader Circadian rhythms of early afterdepolarizations and ventricular arrhythmias in a cardiomyocyte model Via Biophysical Journal Sudden cardiac arrest is a malfunction of the heart's electrical system, typically caused by ventricular arrhythmias, that can lead to sudden cardiac death (SCD) within minutes. Epidemiological studies have shown that SCD and ventricular arrhythmias are more likely to occur in the morning than in the evening, and laboratory studies indicate that these daily rhythms in adverse cardiovascular events are at least partially under the control of the endogenous circadian timekeeping system. However, the biophysical mechanisms linking molecular circadian clocks to cardiac arrhythmogenesis are not fully understood. View on the web Inoreader. Take back control of your news feed.
