Abstract: The Purkinje network (PN) is the distal part of the ventricular conduction system, which has shown to play a central role in the pathophysiology of ventricular fibrillation (VF). Abnormal automaticity and triggered activity are commonly… read more here.

Abstract: BACKGROUND During ventricular fibrillation (VF), targeting the excitable gap (EG) of reentry throughout the myocardium with low-energy surface stimulation shows promise for painless defibrillation. However, the Purkinje network may provide alternative pathways for reentry to… read more here.
