Arrhythmias across the tree of life: comparative insights for human electrophysiology
Cross-species knowledge offers direct translational value for human electrophysiology-from genetic markers in Labrador Retrievers with supraventricular tachycardia to cardiac loading paradigms in broiler chickens. Breaking down disciplinary barriers through shared research initiatives and integrated training represents an essential, underutilized strategy for advancing arrhythmia diagnosis, treatment, and prevention in human patients.
