Implication

Remains too speculative to inform arrhythmia management; leaves open mechanistic confirmation in human disease.

Key Points

To assess whether triggered activity plays a distinct role in the genesis of cardiac arrhythmias relative to established mechanisms of automaticity and re-entry.
Narrative synthesis comparing the cellular electrophysiologic profiles of triggered activity, automaticity, and re-entry.
Qualitative analysis correlating cellular electrical properties with clinical manifestations of cardiac arrhythmias.
Triggered activity displays distinct electrophysiologic hallmarks at the cellular level that distinguish it from standard automaticity and re-entrant circuits.
Evidence directly linking cellular triggered activity to clinical arrhythmia syndromes remains largely speculative and unverified in human disease.
