Genetic Complexity of Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2021 The pacemaker cells of the cardiac sinoatrial node (SAN) are essential for normal cardiac automaticity. Dysfunction in cardiac pacemaking results in human sinoatrial node dysfunction (SND).

Transient sinoatrial node dysfunction after pulsed-field pulmonary vein ablation: an image case report [PDF]
Frontiers in Cardiovascular MedicinePulmonary vein pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is widely regarded as a safe procedure for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), with sinoatrial disturbances as a rare complication. A 62-year-old female patient with paroxysmal AF underwent ablation using an

Pharmacologic Approach to Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]
Annual Review of Pharmacology and Toxicology, 2021 The spontaneous activity of the sinoatrial node initiates the heartbeat. Sino-atrial node dysfunction (SND) and sick sinoatrial (sick sinus) syndrome are caused by the heart's inability to generate a normal sinoatrial node action potential. In clinical practice, SND is generally considered an age-related pathology, secondary to degenerative fibrosis ...

CaMKII in sinoatrial node physiology and dysfunction
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 The calcium and calmodulin dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) is present in sinoatrial node (SAN) pacemaker cells and is required for physiological fight or flight SAN beating rate responses.

Extracardiac Vagal Stimulation-Assisted Cardioneuroablation: Dynamically Evaluating the Impact of Sequential Ganglionated Plexus Ablation on Vagal Control of SAN and AVN in Patients with Sinoatrial Node Dysfunction [PDF]
Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022 Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is proposed as a promising therapy for patients with sinoatrial node dysfunction (SND) that is mediated by excessive vagal tone. However, a series of urgent questions about CNA remain unanswered. From December 2020 to March 2022,

Fibrosis: a structural modulator of Sinoatrial Node physiology and dysfunction [PDF]
Frontiers in Physiology, 2015 Heart rhythm is initialized and controlled by the Sinoatrial Node (SAN), the primary pacemaker of the heart. The SAN is a heterogeneous multi-compartment structure characterized by clusters of specialized cardiomyocytes, enmeshed within strands of ...

Function and Dysfunction of Human Sinoatrial Node [PDF]
Korean Circulation Journal, 2015 Sinoatrial node (SAN) automaticity is jointly regulated by a voltage (cyclic activation and deactivation of membrane ion channels) and Ca(2+) clocks (rhythmic spontaneous sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) release). Using optical mapping in Langendorff-perfused canine right atrium, we previously demonstrated that the β-adrenergic stimulation pushes the ...

Digenic heterozygous mutations of KCNH2 and SCN5A induced young and early‐onset long QT syndrome and sinoatrial node dysfunction [PDF]
Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, 2022 Introduction Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a life‐threatening inherited channelopathy, and prolonged QT intervals easily trigger malignant arrhythmias, especially torsades de pointes and ventricular fibrillation.

Sinoatrial node dysfunction induces cardiac arrhythmias in diabetic mice. [PDF]
Cardiovasc Diabetol, 2014 The aim of this study was to probe cardiac complications, including heart-rate control, in a mouse model of type-2 diabetes. Heart-rate development in diabetic patients is not straight forward: In general, patients with diabetes have faster heart rates compared to non-diabetic individuals, yet diabetic patients are frequently found among patients ...
