Abstract: Life threatening arrhythmias (LTA) can trigger sudden cardiac death, or provoke implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) discharges that escalate morbidity and mortality. Longitudinal myofibrils predominate in the subendocardium which is uniquely sensitive to arrhythmogenic triggers. To… read more here.
