Two‐Pore K+ Channel TREK‐1 Regulates Sinoatrial Node Membrane Excitability

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2016
BackgroundTwo‐pore K+ channels have emerged as potential targets to selectively regulate cardiac cell membrane excitability; however, lack of specific inhibitors and relevant animal models has impeded the effort to understand the role of 2‐pore K ...

A new algorithm to diagnose atrial ectopic origin from multi lead ECG systems - insights from 3D virtual human atria and torso [PDF]

, 2015
Rapid atrial arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation (AF) predispose to ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death and stroke. Identifying the origin of atrial ectopic activity from the electrocardiogram (ECG) can help to diagnose the early onset of ...

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.

Pathophysiology of Cav1.3 L-type calcium channels in the heart

Frontiers in Physiology, 2023
Ca2+ plays a crucial role in excitation-contraction coupling in cardiac myocytes. Dysfunctional Ca2+ regulation alters the force of contraction and causes cardiac arrhythmias. Ca2+ entry into cardiomyocytes is mediated mainly through L-type Ca2+ channels,

Endogenous driving and synchronization in cardiac and uterine virtual tissues: bifurcations and local coupling [PDF]

, 2006
Cardiac and uterine muscle cells and tissue can be either autorhythmic or excitable. These behaviours exchange stability at bifurcations produced by changes in parameters, which if spatially localized can produce an ectopic pacemaking focus.

Parametric analysis of the ionic concentrations effects in the behavior of the sinoatrial node

Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia, 2013
A sensibility study on the effect of ionic concentrations in the behavior of the sinoatrial node was carried out. The study was based on the model proposed by H. Zhang, A. V. Holden and M.R. Boyett.

Impaired neuronal sodium channels cause intranodal conduction failure and reentrant arrhythmias in human sinoatrial node

Nature Communications, 2020
The role of of voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav) in pacemaking and conduction of the human sinoatrial node is unclear. Here, the authors investigate existence and function of neuronal and cardiac Nav in human sinoatrial nodes, and demonstrate their ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
