The first pig-to-human heart transplant was performed in January. Researchers then took electrocardiograms for each of the 61 days the patient survived. Pig hearts in pig bodies show a short PR ...

Normally, electrical signals in a pig heart travel very quickly, faster than in a human heart, explained Dr. Timm Dickfeld, a professor at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore.

In fact, the cardiac conduction system is responsible for our heart beating around 2.5 billion times during the average human lifespan. The conduction system, also called the cardiac electrical ...
