Potassium channels in the sinoatrial node and their role in heart rate control
Potassium currents determine the resting membrane potential and govern repolarisation in cardiac myocytes. Here, we review the various currents in the sinoatrial node focussing on their molecular and cellular properties and their role in pacemaking and ...

Abstract Glycogen storage disease III (GSD‐III) is caused by an inherited deficiency of the glycogen debranching enzyme. Affecting the liver, muscle and heart, GSD‐IIIa is the most common GSD‐III subtype. We evaluated the feasibility and safety of a physical exercise intervention in patients with GSD‐IIIa and its effects at the multisystem level.

The role of inhibitory G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling in the in vivo control of heart rate and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]
Inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins and the control of heart rate. The activation of cell signaling pathways involving inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins acts to slow the heart rate via modulation of ion channels.

ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) contribute to membrane currents in many tissues, are responsive to intracellular metabolism, and open as ATP falls and ADP rises. KATP channels are widely distributed in tissues and are prominently expressed in the

Background In vivo experiments in Goto-Kakizaki (GK) type 2 diabetic rats have demonstrated reductions in heart rate from a young age. The expression of genes encoding more than 70 proteins that are associated with the generation and conduction of ...

Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of the bidirectional causative link between cerebral amyloid‐beta (Aβ) angiopathy and cardiovascular disease in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Common cardiovascular risk factors like microvascular thrombosis, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, hypertension and atherosclerosis lead to cerebral hypoperfusion and ...

A protective role of Nox1/NADPH oxidase in a mouse model with hypoxia-induced bradycardia
Although it has been reported that endotoxin-induced expression of Nox1 in the heart contributes to apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, functional role of Nox1 at the physiological expression level has not been elucidated.

The Role of Ivabradine in the Management of Angina Pectoris [PDF]
Stable angina pectoris affects 2–4 % of the population in Western countries and entails an annual risk of death and nonfatal myocardial infarction of 1–2 % and 3 %, respectively.

Structure mirroring function: What's the ‘matter’ with the funny current?
Abstract figure legend The ‘funny’ (If) current of cardiac pacemaker cells has been first identified in the late 1970s as a major mechanism in the generation and control of cardiac pacemaking. Decades of studies have since described the properties of the funny current and of its molecular components, HCN channels, in the heart and brain, providing the ...
