Two‐Pore K+ Channel TREK‐1 Regulates Sinoatrial Node Membrane Excitability

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundTwo‐pore K+ channels have emerged as potential targets to selectively regulate cardiac cell membrane excitability; however, lack of specific inhibitors and relevant animal models has impeded the effort to understand the role of 2‐pore K ...

Pathophysiology of Cav1.3 L-type calcium channels in the heart

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Ca2+ plays a crucial role in excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac myocytes. Dysfunctional Ca2+ regulation alters the force of contraction and causes cardiac arrhythmias. Ca2+ entry into cardiomyocytes is mediated mainly through L-type Ca2+ channels,

Impaired neuronal sodium channels cause intranodal conduction failure and reentrant arrhythmias in human sinoatrial node

Nature Communications, 2020
The role of of voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) in pacemaking and conduction of the human sinoatrial node is unclear. Here, the authors investigate existence and function of neuronal and cardiac Nav in human sinoatrial nodes, and demonstrate their ...

Histopathological changes in the electrical conduction of cardiac nodes after acute myocardial infarction in dogs and horses, compared with findings in humans: A histological, morphometrical, and immunohistochemical study [PDF]

Veterinary World, 2023
Background and Aim: The heart conduction system is responsible for the occurrence of various types of cardiac arrhythmia. This study aimed to histologically and morphometrically describe damaged cardiac nodes during acute myocardial infarction and to ...

Do human sinoatrial node cells have t-tubules?

Translational Research in Anatomy, 2021
Every heartbeat is generated by spontaneously depolarizing specialised nodal cells that make up the sinoatrial node (SN). The SN's unique properties depend on two complex mechanisms - the membrane-voltage and the Ca2+ clocks, regulated by strictly ...

Local tissue mechanics control cardiac pacemaker cell embryonic patterning

Life Science Alliance, 2023
Microenvironmental patterning during sinoatrial node morphogenesis is critical for sustaining cardiac pacemaker cell function. Cardiac pacemaker cells (CPCs) initiate the electric impulses that drive the rhythmic beating of the heart.

Synchronization‐Dissipation in the Cardiorespiratory System

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By modeling central nervous coupling and viscoelastic interactions in the cardiorespiratory system we show that synchronization produces a 10% gain in cardiac efficiency in humans. It is surmised that respiratory sinus arrhythmia improves cardiac pumping efficiency by reducing dynamic stress and power dissipation in the pulmonary vasculature.

A Dual‐Modal Wearable PPG Smartwatch with AI‐Enhanced Correction for High‐Accuracy and Continuous AF Burden Assessment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, yet accurate quantification of AF burden in daily life remains difficult. Although smartwatch photoplethysmography (PPG) supports continuous monitoring, complex rhythms and signal noise can impair burden estimation.

Three-dimensional computer model of the right atrium including the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes predicts classical nodal behaviours.

PLoS ONE, 2014
The aim of the study was to develop a three-dimensional (3D) anatomically-detailed model of the rabbit right atrium containing the sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes to study the electrophysiology of the nodes. A model was generated based on 3D images
