The maze procedure and postoperative pacemakers
Background There is concern that the right atrial lesions of the maze procedure lead to more
permanent pacemakers postoperatively and that they provide little therapeutic advantage …

The Critical Appraisal Tool for Anatomical Meta‐analysis: A framework for critically appraising anatomical meta‐analyses
The hallmark of evidence‐based medicine is the meta‐analysis (MA). For much of its rich
history, the field of anatomy has been dominated by descriptive, cadaveric studies. In the last …

The organization of the sinoatrial node microvasculature varies regionally to match local myocyte excitability
The cardiac cycle starts when an action potential is produced by pacemaking cells in the
sinoatrial node. This cycle is repeated approximately 100 000 times in humans and 1 million …
