Ventricular ectopic beats are commonly observed in daily clinical practice, either in symptomatic or asymptomatic subjects. In many subjects these arrhythmias are casually detected during a screening visit. Their occurrence is usually associated with no clinical significance. However, in some cases the presence of ventricular ectopic beats indicates susceptibility towards life-threatening arrhythmias or ventricular dysfunction. Appropriate ECG analysis and clinical evaluation are important to detect subjects in whom effective treatment is necessary.

Determining the QRS axis: visual estimation is equal to calculation.
Herzschrittmacherther Elektrophysiol
January 2025
Hannover Heart Rhythm Center, Department of Cardiology & Angiology, Hannover Medical School, Carl-Neuberg Str. 1, 30625, Hannover, Germany.
Background: The QRS axis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is often considered in clinical practice, but its determination is frequently limited to a rough estimation, such as "normal", with left or right deviation, and superior or inferior in the case of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). However, a more exact determination of the QRS axis may be warranted in certain scenarios, such as to determine the origin of PVCs more precisely, and is attainable by visual estimation using the hexaxial reference system.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine how well such an estimation of the QRS axis would correlate with the axis calculated by formulas.
Association of Premature Ventricular Contraction (PVC) with hematological parameters: a data mining approach.
Sci Rep
January 2025
International UNESCO Center for Health-Related Basic Sciences and Human Nutrition, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
Premature ventricular contraction (PVC) is characterized by early repolarization of the myocardium originating from Purkinje fibers. PVC may occur in individuals who are otherwise healthy. However, it may be associated with some pathological conditions.

Recent studies in vertebrates and Caenorhabditis elegans have reshaped models of how the axon guidance cue UNC-6/Netrin functions in dorsal-ventral axon guidance, which was traditionally thought to form a ventral-to-dorsal concentration gradient that was actively sensed by growing axons. In the vertebrate spinal cord, floorplate Netrin1 was shown to be largely dispensable for ventral commissural growth. Rather, short range interactions with Netrin1 on the ventricular zone radial glial stem cells was shown to guide ventral commissural axon growth.

Heart Rhythm O2
July 2024
Department of Cardiology, Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg Hospitals, Copenhagen University, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Background: Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) is a common finding during cardiac evaluation and has been linked to increased mortality. While some studies report a sex difference, most data stem from research cohorts.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the prognostic significance of NSVT in a real-life outpatient clinic, focusing on sex differences in mortality.
Enhanced detection of atrial fibrillation in single-lead electrocardiograms using a cloud-based artificial intelligence platform.
Heart Rhythm
January 2025
IDOVEN Research, Madrid, Spain; Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), Myocardial Pathophysiology Area, Madrid, Spain; Centro de Investigación Biomédica en Red. Enfermedades Cardiovasculares (CIBERCV), Madrid, Spain. Electronic address:
Background: Although smartphone-based devices have been developed to record 1-lead ECG, existing solutions for automatic atrial fibrillation (AF) detection often has poor positive predictive value.
Objective: This study aimed to validate a cloud-based deep learning platform for automatic AF detection in a large cohort of patients using 1-lead ECG records.
Methods: We analyzed 8,528 patients with 30-second ECG records from a single-lead handheld ECG device.
