The HCN4 channel mutation D553N associated with bradycardia has a C-linker mediated gating defect.
BACKGROUND/AIMS The D553N mutation located in the C-linker of the cardiac pacemaker channel HCN4 is thought to cause sino-atrial dysfunction via a pronounced dominant-negative trafficking defect. Since HCN4 mutations usually have a minor defect in channel gating, it was our aim to further characterize the disease causing mechanism of D553N. METHODS Fluorescence microscopy, FACS, TEVC and patc...
متن کاملTachycardia-bradycardia syndrome in a patient with atrial fibrillation: a case report
An 83-year-old woman was scheduled for a second transurethral resection of a bladder tumor. The preoperative electrocardiogram evaluation revealed atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response (ventricular rate: 59 /min). After intravenous injection of 1% lidocaine 40 mg and propofol 60 mg, the ventricular rate increased to 113 beats/min and then fell rapidly to 27 beats/min. Blood press...

from altered intrinsic SAN pacemaker function. Indeed, spontaneous action potential frequencies in SAN myocytes with CIO were reduced in association with decreased L-type Ca current (ICa,L) densities and positive (rightward) voltage shifts in ICa,L activation. Pacemaker current (If) was not affected by CIO. Because ICa,L in SAN myocytes (as well as in atrial and conducting system myocytes) acti...
متن کامل[Bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome].
Following 4 weeks on placebo, eighteen pateints with bradycardia-tachycardia syndrome (BTS) were treated with 100 mg xamoterol twice daily for 2-4 weeks. Ambulatory 24 h Holter electrocardiogram recordings showed that xamoterol decreased maximum heart rate from 140 ± 5.1 to 107 ± 6 beats min-' (P < 0.001) during exercise, increased minimum heart rate from 43 ± 1.7 to 51 ± 2.4 beats min-' (P < 0...
متن کاملAtrial function during different multisite atrial pacing modalities in patients with bradycardia--tachycardia syndrome.
BACKGROUND Multisite atrial pacing (MAP) was introduced to improve atrial electrical synchrony and prevent recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF). METHODS AND RESULTS In the present study there were 57 patients with sinus node disease, AF recurrence and prolonged P-wave on ECG with 2 MAP modalities. In all patients 1 lead was implanted in the coronary sinus (CS) ostium area. In the right atri...
