Insulin signaling is critical for sinoatrial node maintenance and function

Experimental and Molecular Medicine, 2023
Insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) signaling regulate cellular growth and glucose metabolism in the myocardium. However, their physiological role in the cells of the cardiac conduction system has never been explored. Therefore, we sought to

Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen Syndrome Related Clinical Genetics and Experimental Models

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is defined by electrocardiographic QT prolongation and sensorineural hearing loss, caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in KCNQ1 and/or KCNE1. KCNQ1 encodes the alpha subunit Kv7.1 of the ion channels accountable for slow delayed rectifier potassium currents (IKs), whereas KCNE1 ...

Rare Case of Rapidly Worsening REM Sleep Induced Bradycardia

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2015
Sinoatrial arrest also known as sinus pause occurs when sinoatrial node of the heart transiently ceases to generate the electrical impulse necessary for the myocardium to contract. It may last from 2.0 seconds to several minutes. Etiologies of sinoatrial

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

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).

The isolated working guinea pig heart: A functional and electrophysiological characterisation

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Small animal isolated perfused hearts have been used for over 150 years for the study of cardiac physiology and pharmacology. The guinea pig heart represents the smallest mammalian heart that replicates key features of the human heart – for example, with respect to cardiac action potential duration, ion channel expression, excitation ...

Heart Rate Reserve in Fontan Patients: Chronotropic Incompetence or Hemodynamic Limitation?

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Patients with a Fontan circulation achieve lower peak heart rates (HR) during exercise. Whether this impaired chronotropic response reflects pathology of the sinoatrial node or is a consequence of altered cardiac hemodynamics is uncertain.

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

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.
