The effect of aging on the specialized conducting system: a telemetry ECG study in rats over a 6 month period.

The effect of aging on the specialized conducting system: a telemetry ECG study in rats over a 6 month period.

Advanced age alone appears to be a risk factor for increased susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias. We previously observed in the aged rat heart that sinus rhythm ventricular activation is delayed and characterized by abnormal epicardial patterns although conduction velocity is normal. While these f...
