Atrial septal aneurysm by Maldjian, Pierre D. / Applied Radiology In summary Given the current interest in neurocardiology with respect to atrial arrhythmia formation, these data indicate that such events are not necessarily preceded by bradycardia and that they appear to be dependent on discrete neural elements within the intrinsic cardiac nervous system.

Andrew; Kus, Teresa; Richer, Louis-Philippe; Vermeulen, / The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology (Anadolu Kardiyoloji Dergisi) This unique mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic product, combined with supportive preclinical and clinical data, suggests that it may be able to effectively treat atrial arrhythmia with a high margin of safety.
