Genetic Complexity of Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The pacemaker cells of the cardiac sinoatrial node (SAN) are essential for normal cardiac automaticity. Dysfunction in cardiac pacemaking results in human sinoatrial node dysfunction (SND).

Assembly of the Cardiac Pacemaking Complex: Electrogenic Principles of Sinoatrial Node Morphogenesis

Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2021
Cardiac pacemaker cells located in the sinoatrial node initiate the electrical impulses that drive rhythmic contraction of the heart. The sinoatrial node accounts for only a small proportion of the total mass of the heart yet must produce a stimulus of ...

Single-cell transcriptome analysis reveals CD34 as a marker of human sinoatrial node pacemaker cardiomyocytes [PDF]

Nature Communications
The sinoatrial node regulates the heart rate throughout life. Failure of this primary pacemaker results in life-threatening, slow heart rhythm. Despite its critical function, the cellular and molecular composition of the human sinoatrial node is not ...

Transient sinoatrial node dysfunction after pulsed-field pulmonary vein ablation: an image case report [PDF]

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
Pulmonary vein pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is widely regarded as a safe procedure for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), with sinoatrial disturbances as a rare complication. A 62-year-old female patient with paroxysmal AF underwent ablation using an

Sinoatrial node heterogeneity and fibroblasts increase atrial driving capability in a two-dimensional human computational model [PDF]

Frontiers in Physiology
Background: Cardiac pacemaking remains an unsolved matter from many perspectives. Extensive experimental and computational studies have been performed to describe the sinoatrial physiology across different scales, from the molecular to clinical levels ...

Pharmacologic Approach to Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction

Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2021
The spontaneous activity of the sinoatrial node initiates the heartbeat. Sino-atrial node dysfunction (SND) and sick sinoatrial (sick sinus) syndrome are caused by the heart's inability to generate a normal sinoatrial node action potential. In clinical practice, SND is generally considered an age-related pathology, secondary to degenerative fibrosis ...

Molecular Pathway for the Localized Formation of the Sinoatrial Node [PDF]

Circulation Research, 2007
The sinoatrial node, which resides at the junction of the right atrium and the superior caval vein, contains specialized myocardial cells that initiate the heart beat. Despite this fundamental role in heart function, the embryonic origin and mechanisms of localized formation of the sinoatrial node have not been defined.

CaMKII in sinoatrial node physiology and dysfunction

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014
The calcium and calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is present in sinoatrial node (SAN) pacemaker cells and is required for physiological fight or flight SAN beating rate responses.

Human sinoatrial node structure: 3D microanatomy of sinoatrial conduction pathways [PDF]

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2016
Despite a century of extensive study on the human sinoatrial node (SAN), the structure-to-function features of specialized SAN conduction pathways (SACP) are still unknown and debated. We report a new method for direct analysis of the SAN microstructure in optically-mapped human hearts with and without clinical history of SAN dysfunction.Two explanted ...
