| Abstract |
Fascicular ventricular arrhythmias represent a spectrum of ventricular tachycardias dependent on the specialized conduction system. Although they are more common in structurally abnormal hearts, there is an increasing body of literature describing their role in normal hearts. In this review, the authors present data from both basic and clinical research that explore the current understanding of idiopathic fascicular ventricular arrhythmias. Evaluation of the cellular electrophysiology of the Purkinje cells shows clear evidence of enhanced automaticity and triggered activity as potential mechanisms of arrhythmias. Perhaps more importantly, heterogeneity in conduction system velocity and refractoriness of the left ventricular conduction system in animal models are in line with clinical descriptions of re-entrant fascicular arrhythmias in humans. Further advances in our understanding of the conduction system will help bridge the current gap between basic science and clinical fascicular arrhythmias. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 32. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 May 2019.
All research outputs
#1,257,969
of 25,622,179 outputs
Outputs from JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
#249
of 1,569 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#25,109
of 329,313 outputs
Outputs of similar age from JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology
#14
of 60 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,622,179 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 95th percentile: it's in the top 5% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,569 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 20.8. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 329,313 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 92% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 60 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
