Ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) protein, a calcium ion release channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of myocardial cells, plays a crucial role in regulating cardiac systolic and diastolic functions. Mutations in RyR2 and its dysfunction are implicated in various congenital heart diseases (CHDs). Studies have shown that mutations in the RYR2 gene, which encodes the RyR2 protein, are linked to several cardiac arrhythmias, including catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), long QT syndrome (LQTS), calcium release deficiency syndrome (CRDS), and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Background: Junctional rhythm (JR) frequently occurs during radiofrequency (RF) ablation procedures targeting the slow pathway (SP) for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), signaling successful ablation. Two types of JR have been noticed: typical JR as His activation preceding atrial activation, and atypical JR as atrial activation preceding the His activation. Nevertheless, the origin and characteristics of JR remain incompletely defined.

Aim And Background: To assess the efficacy and safety of Ibutilide infusion for cardioversion of atrial fibrillation (AF) or flutter (AFL) to sinus rhythm.

Materials And Methods: This open-label, multicenter phase IV study was conducted at six sites across India. The study enrolled 120 patients (108 with AF, 12 with AFL), each receiving up to two, 10-minute intravenous doses of 1.

Background: Detection of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source (ESUS) is important for the secondary prevention of stroke. We investigated the factors associated with the detection of newly diagnosed AF in ESUS patients during follow-up.

Methods: Patients with acute ischemic stroke classified as ESUS were included.
