The heart’s regular electrical activity is initiated by specialized cardiac pacemaker cells residing in the sinoatrial node. The rate and rhythm of spontaneous action potential firing of sinoatrial node cells are regulated by stochastic mechanisms that ...

Slow invariant manifold of heartbeat model [PDF]
A new approach called Flow Curvature Method has been recently developed in a book entitled Differential Geometry Applied to Dynamical Systems. It consists in considering the trajectory curve, integral of any n-dimensional dynamical system as a curve in ...

Synchronization of Pacemaking in the Sinoatrial Node: A Mathematical Modeling Study
Computational studies using mathematical models of the sinoatrial node (SAN) cardiac action potential (AP) have provided important insight into the fundamental nature of cell excitability, cardiac arrhythmias, and potential therapies. While the impact of

Models of cardiomyocyte–non‐myocyte electrical interactions
Abstract figure legend Cardiomyocyte–non‐myocyte (CM–NM) electrotonic coupling. Left: conceptual contact‐based interactions between CM and other NM via connexin (Cx) proteins. Three basic scenarios are proposed: (i) ‘zero‐sided coupling’ where there are no electrical connections between CM and NM, (ii) ‘single‐sided coupling’ where NM are connected to ...

Do human sinoatrial node cells have t-tubules?
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 ...

The early stages of heart development: insights from chicken embryos [PDF]
The heart is the first functioning organ in the developing embryo and the detailed understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms involved in its formation provides insights into congenital malformations affecting its function and therefore the ...

Pregnancy and oestrogen regulate sinoatrial node calcium homeostasis and accelerate pacemaking
Aims During pregnancy, there is a significant increase in heart rate (HR) potentially associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias or exacerbation of pre-existing cardiac conditions endangering both mother and foetus.

Abstract figure legend Intricate cellular electrical coupling networks in the heart. Various cell types couple the central cardiomyocyte through gap junctional contacts, with the exception of neurons. Whether ephaptic coupling (EpC) occurs in homocellular or heterocellular contexts beyond cardiomyocyte–cardiomyocyte interactions remains unclear ...
