Background: Spontaneously occurring life threatening reentrant arrhythmias result when a propagating premature beat encounters a region with significant dispersion of refractoriness. Although localized structural tissue heterogeneities and prescribed cell functional gradients have been incorporated into computational electrophysiological models, a quantitative framework for the evolution from normal to abnormal behavior that occurs via disease is lacking.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a probabilistic modeling framework that represents the complex interplay of cell function and tissue structure in health and disease which predicts the emergence of premature beats and the initiation of reentry.

Background And Objective: In silico human models are being used more and more to predict the potential proarrhythmic risk of compounds. It has been shown that incorporation of the dynamics of drug-hERG channel interactions can have an important impact on the action potential duration (APD) at normal heart rates. Our aim is to investigate the relevance of drug dynamics on other important biomarkers of proarrhythmic risk.

Obesity is a significant risk factor for cardiac arrhythmias, and the ferroptosis is closely related to cardiac arrhythmias. This study aimed to investigate whether puerarin (Pue), a natural isoflavone, could reduce the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) associated with obesity and inhibit ferroptosis, with a particular focus on the Sirt1/Nrf2 signaling pathway. Male rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal chow diet (NC), high-fat diet (HFD), and HFD with Pue treatment (100mg/kg, HFD + Pue).

Background: Clinical effects of subclinical hypothyroidism are not clearly understood. This study aims to investigate the effects of subclinical hypothyroidism (SH) on cardiac autonomic and conduction systems in children.
Methods: Forty-seven cases (25 female, 22 male) with SH aged between 3 and 17 years and 46 controls that were age, body mass index and sex matched, were included in the study.

Background And Aim: Children with type 1 diabetes mellitus are susceptible to arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. In this study, we aimed to explore the arrhythmia risk among children with type 1 diabetes mellitus by assessing electrocardiographic parameters.
Methods: A total of 165 children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus, aged 10-18 years, and 154 healthy children matched for age and gender without any chronic diseases, were included in the study.
