DOI: 10.1002/mrm.29382
Abstract: Powerful MRI gradient systems can surpass the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 60601‐2‐33 limit for cardiac stimulation (CS), which was determined by simple electromagnetic simulations and electrode stimulation experiments. Only a few canine studies measured magnetically… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/ajpheart.00574.2019
Abstract: The sympathetic nervous system modulates cardiac function by controlling key parameters such as chronotropy and inotropy. Sympathetic control of ventricular function occurs through extrinsic innervation arising from the stellate ganglia and thoracic sympathetic chain. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2023.1127388
Abstract: The cardiotoxicity risk of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and azithromycin (AZM) has been the subject of intensive research triggered by safety concerns in COVID-19 patients. HCQ and AZM have been associated with QT interval prolongation and drug-induced… read more here.
