Key result
Transcriptomics and high-resolution imaging define Purkinje-specific molecular and structural markers across mammalian hearts.
Developing methods adapted to the distinguishing features of the Purkinje network is necessary to move beyond descriptive understanding toward targeted therapy for sudden cardiac death.
Should not alter clinical mapping yet; extends Purkinje characterization in translational models.

Walton et al. (2026) conducted a review in Ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death involving the Purkinje network. Multimodal interrogation of the Purkinje network (cell-type-resolved transcriptomics, structural imaging, optical coherence tomography, and electrical mapping) was evaluated. Cell-type-resolved transcriptomics and micrometre-resolution imaging complement sparse electrical mapping by defining Purkinje-specific molecular and structural markers across sheep and human hearts.
