Aim: To specify indications and main anomalies of the 24 hours electrocardiogram in Bamako.
Methodology: The study was retrospective and conducted from 1st January 2008 to 31st July 2013, on patients whose file comprised a readable recording holter. The Holter recordings were analyzed by the software synetec (syneview 2) of ELA medical. Patients data were analyzed by SPSS 18 and redaction made using Word 2010.
Results: 90.2% of the recordings were retained. Mean Age of the sample was of 44,02 ± 16,95 years, the sex-ratio H: F 1,18 with 79.3% of patients coming from the services of cardiology. The indications were: palpitations (32.6%), suspicions of disorder of the rate/rhythm (27.2%), loss of consciousness, cerebral vascular accidents ischemic each one 15.2% and seeks of cause of faintness in (9.8%). An anomaly was found for the indications of disorder of the cardiac rhythm, palpitations, the cerebral vascular accidents ischemic, fainting and the losses of consciousness in resp. 80%, 66.6%, 28.5%, 22.2% and 14.2%.
Conclusion: The 24 hours electrocardiographic recording is an examination of a great value in looking for cardiac rhythm disorders field of the disorders of the cardiac rhythm. Its provision will have to be effective in the university structures and the evolution towards the forms at longer duration quickly undertaken in Mali.

Study Objectives: Although heart rate variability (HRV), a marker of cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM), is known to predict cardiovascular morbidity, the circadian timing of sleep (CTS) is also involved in autonomic modulation. We examined whether circadian misalignment is associated with blunted HRV in adolescents as a function of entrainment to school or on-breaks.
Methods: We evaluated 360 subjects from the Penn State Child Cohort (median 16y) who had at least 3-night at-home actigraphy (ACT), in-lab 9-h polysomnography (PSG) and 24-h Holter-monitoring heart rate variability (HRV) data.

The complex interaction between circadian rhythms and physiological functions is essential for maintaining human health. At the heart of this interaction lies the PERIOD proteins (PERs), pivotal to the circadian clock, influencing the timing of physiological and behavioral processes and impacting oxidative stress, immune functionality, and tumorigenesis. PER1 orchestrates the cooperation of the enzyme GPX1, modulating mitochondrial dynamics in sync with daily rhythms and oxidative stress, thus regulating the mechanisms managing energy substrates.

Many theories of time perception propose the existence of an internal pacemaker, and studies across behavioral, physiological, and neuroscience fields have explored this concept. Specifically, Spontaneous Motor Tempo (SMT), the most comfortable and natural tapping tempo for each individual, is thought to reflect this internal pacemaker's tempo. Changes in heart rate are also linked to time estimation, while Individual Alpha Frequency (IAF), the peak in the alpha range (8-13 Hz) observed in EEG, is reported to reflect the brain's temporal processing.

Background: Initial clinical studies of pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat atrial fibrillation (AF) indicated a >90% durability rate of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, these studies were largely conducted in single centers and involved a limited number of operators. The electrophysiological findings and outcomes in patients undergoing repeat ablation after an initial PF ablation for AF are incompletely understood.
