Objectives : This study sought to determine whether combined assessment of autonomic
tone plus cardiac electrical substrate identifies most patients at risk of serious events after …

Sudden cardiac death is a major public health issue in Canada. However, despite the
overwhelming evidence to support the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) in the …

Statistical motor unit number estimation (MUNE) is one of several experimental techniques
used to estimate the number of lower motor neurons innervating a given muscle. All are fairly …

Being the smallest functional units under neural control, motor units play an integral role in
muscle physiology. However, at the present time, there does not exit any widely accepted …

This Canadian Cardiovascular Society position statement is focused on the management of
sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) that occurs in patients …

The gender and racial diversity in the cardiology workforce in Canada does not reflect that
of the population we serve. As social awareness of the principles of equity, diversity, and …

Objectives : We sought to evaluate the utility of T-wave alternans (TWA) assessment in the
immediate post-exercise period to identify and validate cutpoints for the modified moving …

The landscape of patient care at the beginning of the 19th century was dramatically different
than it is today. With few good treatment options, illness courses were generally brief. Near …

Motor unit number estimates were obtained from the extensor digitorum brevis and thenar
muscles using a new method called MUESA. MUESA is distinguished from other estimation …

A computer model of the motor unit number estimation procedure was developed to evaluate
the sampling error associated with estimates of the number of motor units in muscles. Two …
