Functional and morphological organization of the cat sinoatrial node

, 1986
The feline sinoatrial node has a unifocal impulse generation as previously described for rodents. Its main component is collagen. The primary pacemaker consists of at most 2000 cells, but appears to function normally with less than 500 cells.

Natriuretic Peptide Receptor-C Protects Against Angiotensin II-Mediated Sinoatrial Node Disease in Mice

JACC: Basic to Translational Science, 2018
Summary: Sinoatrial node (SAN) disease mechanisms are poorly understood, and therapeutic options are limited. Natriuretic peptide(s) (NP) are cardioprotective hormones whose effects can be mediated partly by the NP receptor C (NPR-C). We investigated the

Cellular and molecular landscape of mammalian sinoatrial node revealed by single-cell RNA sequencing

Nature Communications, 2021
The spontaneous bioelectrical activity of pacemaker cells in sinoatrial node (SAN) triggers the heartbeats. Here, the authors perform single-cell RNA sequencing in the mouse SAN and identify molecular and cellular features of the SAN conserved in rabbit ...

Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes: Pathophysiological mechanisms and opportunities for multiscale computational modelling and simulation

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Overview of multiscale cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes and how to model and simulate these changes using a human‐based, multiscale computational framework. Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes occurs at ionic channel, protein, cellular, tissue and whole‐organ level, affecting the electrophysiological function, mechanical

Sinoatrial nodal disease presenting with tachy-bradycardia syndrome in a fetus of anti-SSA/SSB-positive mother

Annals of Pediatric Cardiology, 2022
Tachy-bradycardia syndrome (TBS) has been reported rarely in the fetus. We present here an unusual dominant involvement of sinoatrial node in a fetus presenting with TBS of anti-Sjögren'syndrome-related antigen A (SS-A) and antigen B (SS-B ...

Mathematical model of the zebrafish ventricular cardiomyocyte action potential and calcium transient

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend This study presents the development and validation of the first biophysically detailed computational model of the zebrafish ventricular action potential (AP). The model is based on a human cardiomyocyte framework and reparameterized using published and newly generated patch‐clamp recordings of zebrafish ionic currents.

A case report of sinoatrial arrest caused by temporal lobe epilepsy in subclinical glioblastoma

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Atrial fibrillation with symptomatic bradycardia, higher grade atrioventricular block, and sinus node disease are all common indications for permanent pacemaker implantation.

Mechanisms underlying local Ca2+ signalling differences between right and left atrial myocytes at normal and increased frequencies

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Left atrial myocytes have TAT‐associated faster Ca2+ release but are more prone to maladaptation at higher frequencies due to weaker peripheral SR Ca2+ uptake and smaller trigger Ca2+ current. Abstract Changes in heart rate affect Ca2+ signalling and contractility in ventricular muscle, but the effects on atrial Ca2+ signalling ...
