Mechanism of Cardiac Arrhythmias01:28

Mechanism of Cardiac Arrhythmias

1.9K
Arrhythmias are irregular heart rhythms occurring when the heart's electrical impulses become abnormal. These disturbances can lead to various symptoms, depending on their severity and the underlying cause. Some common factors contributing to arrhythmias include hypoxia, ischemia, electrolyte imbalances, excessive catecholamine exposure, drug toxicity, and muscle overstretching. Arrhythmias can be classified into two main types based on the rate and site of origin of abnormal heart rhythms.

Gene Therapy00:59

Gene Therapy

27.6K
Gene therapy is a technique where a gene is inserted into a person’s cells to prevent or treat a serious disease. The added gene may be a healthy version of the gene that is mutated in the patient, or it could be a different gene that inactivates or compensates for the patient’s disease-causing gene. For example, in patients with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) due to a mutation in the gene for the enzyme adenosine deaminase, a functioning version of the gene can be...

Computed Tomography01:10

Computed Tomography

8.3K
Tomography refers to imaging by sections. Computed tomography (CT) is a non-invasive imaging technique that uses computers to analyze several cross-sectional X-rays to reveal minute details about structures in the body.
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Reaction Mechanisms03:06

Reaction Mechanisms

30.8K
Chemical reactions often occur in a stepwise fashion, involving two or more distinct reactions taking place in a sequence. A balanced equation indicates the reacting species and the product species, but it reveals no details about how the reaction occurs at the molecular level. The reaction mechanism (or reaction path) provides details regarding the precise, step-by-step process by which a reaction occurs.
For instance, the decomposition of ozone appears to follow a mechanism with two steps:

Group Therapy01:26

Group Therapy

439
Group therapy is a sociocultural approach to psychological treatment, where individuals with shared psychological challenges come together under the guidance of a mental health professional. This therapeutic modality offers unique opportunities for individuals to connect, share, and grow within the context of a supportive group. By fostering mutual understanding and collaboration, group therapy can address a range of psychological concerns effectively, often complementing or surpassing the...

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output01:22

Cardiac Output II: Effect of Stroke Volume on Cardiac Output

3.4K
Cardiac output (CO), the amount of blood the heart pumps per minute, is a parameter in cardiovascular physiology determined by stroke volume and heart rate. Stroke volume, the amount of blood pushed from one of the ventricles per heartbeat, is influenced by preload, afterload, and contractility.
Preload
Preload refers to the initial elongation of the cardiac myocytes before contraction and is related to the volume of blood filling the heart at the end of diastole, or end-diastolic volume. The...

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Background:

    • Congestive heart failure (CHF) significantly impacts morbidity and mortality.
    • Current treatments, including cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), have limitations, with 30-50% of patients not responding optimally.
    • Optimal left ventricular lead placement is crucial for CRT success, but current imaging methods like cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) are costly and not widely available.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore a novel method using interventional X-ray fluoroscopy to assess myocardial mechanical activation for CRT lead optimization.
    • To determine if fluoroscopy-derived mechanical activation data can guide lead placement similarly to CMR.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized interventional X-ray fluoroscopy during CRT procedures.
    • Developed a method to track overlying vessel movement on the left ventricular myocardium.
    • Analyzed vessel motion along the principal component to determine mechanical activation.
    • Compared fluoroscopy-derived mechanical activation with CMR-derived data in 9 patient datasets.

    Main Results:

    • The novel fluoroscopy method successfully provided information on myocardial mechanical activation.
    • A comparison showed more than 66% agreement between MR- and fluoroscopy-derived mechanical activation in 8 out of 9 cases.
    • This suggests fluoroscopy can be a viable alternative for assessing mechanical activation.

    Conclusions:

    • Interventional X-ray fluoroscopy offers a promising, accessible alternative to CMR for assessing myocardial mechanical activation in CRT procedures.
    • This technique has the potential to improve CRT lead placement and patient outcomes by optimizing lead positioning.
    • Further validation and integration into clinical practice could enhance CRT efficacy for non-responding patients.
