Differentiating the contributions of Na/K pump current and persistent Na current in simulated voltage-clamp experiments.
J Neurophysiol
January 2025
Center for Integrative Brain Research, Seattle Children's Research Institute, Seattle, Washington.
The persistent Na current (I) is thought to play important roles in many brain regions including the generation of inspiration in the ventral respiratory column (VRC) of mammals. The characterization of the slow inactivation of I requires long-lasting voltage steps (>1 s), which will increase intracellular Na and activate the Na/K-ATPase pump current (I). Thus, I may contribute to the previously measured slow inactivation of I and the generation of the inspiratory bursting rhythm.

Clin Cardiol
January 2025
Department of Medicine, Creighton University School of Medicine and CHI Health, Omaha, Nebraska, USA.
Background: Clinical trials support dronedarone use for atrial fibrillation (AF) following catheter ablation (CA); however, comparative data on health care resource utilization (HCRU) with other antiarrhythmic drugs are lacking.
Methods: Retrospective analysis of Merative MarketScan databases (January 01, 2012-March 31, 2020) comparatively assessed HCRU in US adults with AF who received dronedarone or sotalol post-CA. Patients with ≥ 12-months' pre-CA data were followed from post-CA index treatment to disenrollment, death, or study end.
Complications of transvenous lead extraction-focus on tricuspid valve damage: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
1st Department of Arrhythmia, National Institute of Cardiology, 42 Alpejska Street, 04-628 Warsaw, Poland.
Background: Transvenous lead extraction (TLE) has become an essential component of lead management strategies, but it carries the risk of severe complications, including damage to the tricuspid valve. Currently, there are no established predictors that can help prevent these complications.
Case Summary: An 84-year-old male with a dual-chamber pacemaker was admitted to the hospital due to a pocket fistula resulting from a local infection.
Injectable ionic hydrogel conductors: Advancing material design to transform cardiac pacing.
Biomaterials
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, 78712, USA. Electronic address:
Direct pacing of the mid myocardium where re-entry originates can be used to prevent ventricular arrhythmias and circumvent the need for painful defibrillation or cardiac ablation. However, there are no pacing electrodes small enough to navigate the coronary veins that cross these culprit scar regions. To address this need, we have developed an injectable ionically conductive hydrogel electrode that can fill the epicardial coronary veins and transform them into flexible electrodes.

TUM School of Medicine and Health, Department of Radiation Oncology, Technische Universität München (TUM), Klinikum rechts der Isar, Munich, Germany.
Purpose: Increasing life expectancy and advances in cancer treatment will lead to more patients needing both radiation therapy (RT) and cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs). CIEDs, including pacemakers and defibrillators, are essential for managing cardiac arrhythmias and heart failure. Telemetric monitoring of CIEDs checks battery status, lead function, settings, and diagnostic data, thereby identifying software deviations or damage.
