Many Arctic fishes experience prolonged periods of extreme cold and large thermal variation over both rapid and seasonal time scales which challenge critical physiological functions. In the central Canadian Arctic, we caught wild adult lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) acclimatized to winter and summer temperatures to determine the extent to which they seasonally adjust cardiac thermal performance and adrenergic control. We assessed the intrinsic and maximum heart rate (f and f) of anaesthetised fish through cholinergic blockade and either adrenergic blockade (f) or stimulation (f) during acute warming.

Objective: This study investigates the link between circulating proteins and rate-corrected QT (QTc) interval in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and their association with cardiovascular outcomes.
Methods And Results: We analyzed 197 HFrEF patients from the prospective Serial Biomarker Measurements and New Echocardiographic Techniques in Chronic Heart Failure Patients Result in Tailored Prediction of Prognosis (Bio-SHiFT) study, all in sinus rhythm at baseline. Baseline QTc intervals were calculated and corrected for broad QRS complexes (>120 ms) using Bogossian's formula.

Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is characterised by an increase in the mass and volume of the left ventricle, typically manifested as ventricular wall thickening and/or dilation. Due to its potential to cause severe, life-threatening complications, ongoing research continues to explore its underlying mechanisms. This study aimed to determine how wall thickening and dilation specifically impact ECG waveforms, isolating these anatomical alterations without considering potential electrophysiological changes associated with LVH - a scenario achievable only through computational modelling.

Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is an uncommon finding with potential clinical implications, including arrhythmogenic risk. Electrocardiographic parameters such as QT dispersion (QTd) and P wave dispersion (PWD) have been proposed as non-invasive predictors of electrical instability. This study aimed to compare ECG findings, between patients with isolated CAE and those with normal coronary arteries.

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been established as a key component in the management of patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction in addition to pharmacologic therapy. Several automatic algorithms have been developed to optimize the timing cycle settings in CRT, especially AV delay which was associated with improvement of the response to CRT. The present study aims to investigate whether the novel device-based SyncAV algorithm could elicit better synchrony and acute hemodynamic response.
