Acta Cardiologica is a bimonthly peer-reviewed medical journal covering research on all aspects of cardiovascular disease including observational studies, clinical trials, experimental investigations with clear clinical relevance, and tutorials. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2020 impact factor of 1.718. [ 1]
Sinoventricular conduction is a rare form of cardiac conduction in which the sinoatrial node generates an impulse that is conducted to the atrioventricular node (AV node) in the absence of the right atrium contracting. This is the physiological proof for the presence of the internodal tracts, which have not been clearly demonstrated histologically.
Neurocardiology is the study of the neurophysiological, neurological and neuroanatomical aspects of cardiology, including especially the neurological origins of cardiac disorders. [1] The effects of stress on the heart are studied in terms of the heart's interactions with both the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system.
The history of invasive cardiology begins with the development of cardiac catheterization in 1711, when Stephen Hales placed catheters into the right and left ventricles of a living horse. [ 1] Variations on the technique were performed over the subsequent century, with formal study of cardiac physiology being performed by Claude Bernard in the ...
The Journal of the American College of Cardiology is a peer-reviewed medical journal covering all aspects of cardiovascular disease, including original clinical studies, translational investigations with clear clinical relevance, state-of-the-art papers, review articles, and editorials interpreting and commenting on the research presented ...
Myocardial rupture is most common three to seven days after myocardial infarction, commonly of small degree, but may occur one day to three weeks later. In the modern era of early revascularization and intensive pharmacotherapy as treatment for MI, the incidence of myocardial rupture is about 1% of all MIs. [6]
The European Journal of Preventive Cardiology is a peer-reviewed medical journal that covers research on the cardiovascular system. The journal's editor-in-chief is Massimo Francesco Piepoli (Cardiac Unit, Guglielmo da Saliceto Hospital, Piacenza, Italy). It was established in 1994 as the European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention ...
A myocardial infarction occurs when an atherosclerotic plaque slowly builds up in the inner lining of a coronary artery and then suddenly ruptures, causing catastrophic thrombus formation, totally occluding the artery and preventing blood flow downstream to the heart muscle. A myocardial infarction (MI), commonly known as a heart attack, occurs ...
