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 ...

Computer Modelling of the Sinoatrial Node [PDF]
Medical & Biological Engineering & Computing, 2006 Over the past decades patch-clamp experiments have provided us with detailed information on the different types of ion channels that are present in the cardiac cell membrane. Sophisticated cardiac cell models based on these data can help us understand how the different types of ion channels act together to produce the cardiac action potential.

The sinoatrial node, a heterogeneous pacemaker structure [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2000 This article focuses on the regional heterogeneity of the mammalian sinoatrial (SA) node in terms of cell morphology, pacemaker activity, action potential configuration and conduction, densities of ionic currents (i(Na), i(Ca,L), i(to), i(K,r), i(K,s) and i(f)), expression of gap junction proteins (Cx40, Cx43 and Cx45), autonomic regulation, and ageing.

Aging and Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]
Circulation, 2007 In the century since the discovery by Keith and Flack of the sinoatrial node in the mole heart, a detailed mosaic of its cellular, anatomic, and electrophysiological properties has emerged. The human sinus node has been found to be anatomically constant and well localized, occupying an approximately 10-mm subepicardial region on the sulcus terminalis ...

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 ...

Regenerative Therapy, 2022 Introduction: Dysfunction of the sinoatrial node (SAN) cells causes arrhythmias, and many patients require artificial cardiac pacemaker implantation. However, the mechanism of impaired SAN automaticity remains unknown, and the generation of human SAN ...

Gap junctions in the rabbit sinoatrial node [PDF]
American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, 2001 In comparison to the cellular basis of pacemaking, the electrical interactions mediating synchronization and conduction in the sinoatrial node are poorly understood. Therefore, we have taken a combined immunohistochemical and electrophysiological approach to characterize gap junctions in the nodal area.

Cardiac disease in systemic sclerosis: Integrating pathobiology with clinical management
Rheumatology &Autoimmunity, EarlyView.Abstract Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a complex autoimmune disorder in which cardiovascular involvement remains a major determinant of morbidity and mortality. Cardiac injury in SSc results from the interplay of microvascular dysfunction, immune‐mediated inflammation, and progressive interstitial and replacement fibrosis, leading to myocardial disease ...

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
