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

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2004 Cilnidipine, a dihydropyridine Ca2+ channel antagonist, is known to have inhibitory effects on both L- and N-type Ca2+ currents. In the present study, we examined the effect of cilnidipine on myocardial L- and T-type Ca2+ currents and sinoatrial node ...

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 ...

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP‐1 receptor agonists modestly lower blood pressure across diverse patient populations, including those without diabetes. These effects appear largely independent of glycaemic control and offer additive value in high‐risk patients with overlapping comorbidities.

Arrhythmias associated with immune checkpoint inhibitor therapy—A clinical perspective
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer therapy but are associated with a growing spectrum of cardiovascular immune‐related adverse events. Among these, arrhythmias represent a rare yet potentially life‐threatening complication. ICI‐induced arrhythmias encompass a wide clinical spectrum, including atrial arrhythmias, conduction ...

Mathematical Models of Cardiac Pacemaking Function
Frontiers in Physics, 2013 Over the past half century, there has been intense and fruitful interaction between experimental and computational investigations of cardiac function. This interaction has, for example, led to deep understanding of cardiac excitation-contraction coupling;

Werner Irnich: Pioneer in the Development of the Dual‐Chamber Pacemaker—An Obituary
Pacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Fifty years ago, Werner Irnich presented the concept of an optimal pacemaker capable of responding appropriately to various cardiac arrhythmias and perceptual disturbances, and intended to be used in 85% of patients. With this concept, Irnich was far ahead of his time. His proposed circuitry for AV block and atrial fibrillation, as well as his

Electrophysiological and Molecular Mechanisms of Sinoatrial Node Mechanosensitivity
Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021 The understanding of the electrophysiological mechanisms that underlie mechanosensitivity of the sinoatrial node (SAN), the primary pacemaker of the heart, has been evolving over the past century.

Cerebrovascular regulation during heat stress
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Given that the brain is a highly metabolic organ and is enclosed by the skull, effective regulation of cerebral blood flow (CBF), not only for oxygen and nutrients supply but also as a means of convective heat exchange, is critical for preventing excessive elevations in brain temperature.

Resveratrol enhances the inotropic effect but inhibits the proarrhythmic effect of sympathomimetic agents in rat myocardium [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 Background Resveratrol is a cardioprotective agent with known antiarrhythmic effects that has recently been shown to inhibit phosphodiesterase (PDE) enzyme activity.
