Pre-eclampsia complicates approximately 6–8% of all pregnancies. Epidemiologic studies have demonstrated a relationship between pre-eclampsia and cardiac morbidity and mortality later in life, but the ...

Baltimore, MD - A large-scale genomic study has identified a new gene associated with abnormal QT intervals. The gene, known as NOS1AP, was not previously known to modulate cardiac repolarization, but ...

Ventricular repolarization (VR) is a crucial step in cardiac electrical activity because it corresponds to a recovery period setting the stage for the next heart contraction. Small perturbations of ...

The QT interval is the time from the beginning of the QRS complex (ventricular depolarization) to the end of the T wave (ventricular repolarization). The normal QT interval is controversial and ...

We evaluated the incidence of early repolarization among 1395 controls who were representative of the general population and 15 patients classified as having idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, ...

Silver Spring, MD - The FDA's Cardiovascular and Renal Drugs Advisory Committee has ruled that the clinical trials conducted by Bayer/GlaxoSmithKline for its erectile dysfunction drug, vardenafil ...

Q: What is hidden QT syndrome? A: An electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity that coordinates the timing of the contractions of the heart chambers; the signals are labeled ...

This cohort study assessed ECG parameters in transgender men and women before and after use of gender-affirming hormone therapies. Testosterone use in transgender men was associated with shorter ...

Frost & Sullivan has awarded the COMPAS software technology platform its 2006 North America Technology Innovation of the Year Award in the field of Cardiac Safety Analytics. The software was created ...
