There is an urgent clinical need for a treatment regimen that addresses the underlying pathophysiology of ventricular arrhythmias, the leading cause of sudden cardiac death. The current report describes the design of an injectable hydrogel electrode and successful deployment in a pig model with access far more refined than any current pacing modalities allow. In addition to successful cardiac capture and pacing, analysis of surface ECG tracings and three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping revealed a QRS morphology comparable to native sinus rhythm, strongly suggesting the hydrogel electrode captures the deep septal bundle branches and Purkinje fibers.

Of the monomorphic ventricular tachycardias, there are 4 specific tachycardias related to the Purkinje system: 1) idiopathic verapamil-sensitive fascicular ventricular tachycardia (FVT); 2) non-re-entrant FVT; 3) bundle branch re-entry and interfascicular re-entry; and 4) Purkinje-mediated VT in structural heart disease. Verapamil-sensitive FVT is classified into 4 types according to the location of the circuit: 1) left posterior type; 2) left anterior type; 3) left upper septal type;and 4) reverse type. And, in the left anterior and posterior types, there are septal and papillary muscle subtypes.

Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the electrophysiological characteristics and long-term outcome of patients undergoing substrate-based ablation of left posterior fascicular ventricular tachycardia (LPF-VT) guided by targeting of fragmented antegrade Purkinje potentials (FAPs) during sinus rhythm.

Methods And Results: This study retrospectively analysed 50 consecutive patients referred for ablation. Substrate mapping during sinus rhythm was performed to identify the FAP that was targeted by ablation.

Evidence of cell cycle re-entry in post-mitotic, terminally differentiated feline neurons.

Parvovirus infections in dogs and cats are restricted to highly mitotically active tissues, predominantly to the epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract and, in cases of prenatal infections in cats, also to Purkinje cell neuroblasts. The evidence of parvovirus-infected mature feline neurons gave rise to reconsider the dogma of post-mitotically fixed and terminally differentiated neurons in the adult central nervous system. To elucidate the postulated capability of certain terminally differentiated feline neurons to re-enter the cell cycle, immunohistochemical double labeling using the transcription factor Sox2 and the tumor suppressor and cell cycle regulator retinoblastoma protein in its phosphorylated state (pRb) was performed.
