The causative role of amyloidosis in the cardiac complications of Alzheimer's disease: a comprehensive systematic review

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic illustration of the bidirectional causative link between cerebral amyloid‐beta (Aβ) angiopathy and cardiovascular disease in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Common cardiovascular risk factors like microvascular thrombosis, diabetes, atrial fibrillation, hypertension and atherosclerosis lead to cerebral hypoperfusion and ...

The cardiac pacemakers: A paradigm of robustness in evolutionary biology

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Functional networks in living systems are formed by many thousands of gene products. In association with those networks, several genes (four in this diagram) may be sufficient, each on its own, to ensure that the function occurs. Any one of these may be removed or blocked while leaving the others to continue functioning.

Structure mirroring function: What's the ‘matter’ with the funny current?

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend The ‘funny’ (If) current of cardiac pacemaker cells has been first identified in the late 1970s as a major mechanism in the generation and control of cardiac pacemaking. Decades of studies have since described the properties of the funny current and of its molecular components, HCN channels, in the heart and brain, providing the ...

A protective role of Nox1/NADPH oxidase in a mouse model with hypoxia-induced bradycardia

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2015
Although it has been reported that endotoxin-induced expression of Nox1 in the heart contributes to apoptosis in cardiomyocytes, functional role of Nox1 at the physiological expression level has not been elucidated.

Models of cardiomyocyte–non‐myocyte electrical interactions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Cardiomyocyte–non‐myocyte (CM–NM) electrotonic coupling. Left: conceptual contact‐based interactions between CM and other NM via connexin (Cx) proteins. Three basic scenarios are proposed: (i) ‘zero‐sided coupling’ where there are no electrical connections between CM and NM, (ii) ‘single‐sided coupling’ where NM are connected to ...

Use of machine learning and Poincaré density grid in the diagnosis of sinus node dysfunction caused by sinoatrial conduction block in dogs

Journal of Veterinary Internal Medicine
Background Sinus node dysfunction because of abnormal impulse generation or sinoatrial conduction block causes bradycardia that can be difficult to differentiate from high parasympathetic/low sympathetic modulation (HP/LSM).

Gap junctional and ephaptic coupling in cardiac electrical propagation: homocellular and heterocellular perspectives

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Intricate cellular electrical coupling networks in the heart. Various cell types couple the central cardiomyocyte through gap junctional contacts, with the exception of neurons. Whether ephaptic coupling (EpC) occurs in homocellular or heterocellular contexts beyond cardiomyocyte–cardiomyocyte interactions remains unclear ...

Análise comparativa entre a vascularização arterial ventricular e do nó sinoatrial em corações de cães Comparative analysis between both ventricular and sinoatrial node arterial vascularization in heart of dogs

Pesquisa Veterinária Brasileira, 2013
Utilizamos nesta pesquisa 40 corações de cães adultos, machos e fêmeas, de idades variadas, que não portavam nenhuma afecção cardíaca. Os corações tiveram as artérias coronárias injetadas, separadamente, com Neoprene Látex 450, corado com pigmento ...

Sympathetic stimulation can compensate for hypocalcaemia‐induced bradycardia in human and rabbit sinoatrial node cells

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend AC: adenylyl cyclase, APT: adenosine triphosphate, AMP: adenosine monophosphate, cAMP: cyclic adenosine monophosphate, PDE: phosphodiesterase, PKA: protein kinase A, PPT: protein phosphatase, P: phosphorylation, RyR: ryanodine receptor, SERCA: sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+‐adenosine triphosphatase, SR: sarcoplasmic ...

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.
