Mechanisms of Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction in Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction
Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Background: The ability to increase heart rate during exercise and other stressors is a key homeostatic feature of the sinoatrial node (SAN).

Sick sinus syndrome (SSS) is a disease with bradycardia or arrhythmia. The pathological mechanism of SSS is mainly due to the abnormal conduction function of the sinoatrial node (SAN) caused by interstitial lesions or fibrosis of the SAN or surrounding ...

Lithium-Induced Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction. [PDF]
Lithium is a common mood-stabilizing drug for manic patients. We describe a case of sinoatrial node dysfunction in a patient with serum lithium levels within the therapeutic range. Given the symptomology and severity of the patient's illness, after placing a permanent pacemaker, the patient was discharged on the preadmission dose of lithium.

Altered microRNA and mRNA profiles during heart failure in the human sinoatrial node
Heart failure (HF) is frequently accompanied with the sinoatrial node (SAN) dysfunction, which causes tachy-brady arrhythmias and increased mortality. MicroRNA (miR) alterations are associated with HF progression.

Sinoatrial node pacemaker cells share dominant biological properties with glutamatergic neurons
Activation of the heart normally begins in the sinoatrial node (SAN). Electrical impulses spontaneously released by SAN pacemaker cells (SANPCs) trigger the contraction of the heart. However, the cellular nature of SANPCs remains controversial.

Sinoatrial-Node Entrance Block [PDF]
Sinus-node function was characterized in 13 patients during cardiac catheterization by the introduction of progressively premature atrial depolarizations. Curves relating the extent of sinus-node depression following these premature depolarizations and their degree of prematurity were constructed.

Canine distemper is a viral disease that affects several systems on dogs, among them, the cardiovascular system. The aim of this study was to identify canine distemper virus (CDV) in the sinoatrial node (SAN) of dogs serologically positive for distemper ...

Significance The funny current (If) is critical for spontaneous activity in cardiac pacemaker cells; however, its precise role remains enigmatic because it activates mostly outside the physiological voltage range and its kinetics are slow relative to the

Innervation and Neuronal Control of the Mammalian Sinoatrial Node: A Comprehensive Atlas
Cardiac function is under exquisite intrinsic cardiac neural control. Neuroablative techniques to modulate control of cardiac function are currently being studied in patients, albeit with variable and sometimes deleterious results.
