Arrhythmogenic consequences of intracellular calcium waves.
Intracellular Ca(2+) (Ca(i)(2+)) waves are known to cause delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs), which have been associated with arrhythmias in cardiac disease states such as heart failure, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, and digitalis toxicity. Here we show that, in addition to DADs, Ca(i)(2+) waves also have other consequences relevant to arrhythmogenesis, including subce...
متن کاملThe arrhythmogenic consequences of increasing late INa in the cardiomyocyte.
This review presents the roles of cardiac sodium channel NaV1.5 late current (late INa) in generation of arrhythmic activity. The assumption of the authors is that proper Na(+) channel function is necessary to the maintenance of the transmembrane electrochemical gradient of Na(+) and regulation of cardiac electrical activity. Myocyte Na(+) channels' openings during the brief action potential up...
متن کاملCa2+ current facilitation is CaMKII-dependent and has arrhythmogenic consequences
The cardiac voltage gated Ca(2+) current (ICa) is critical to the electrophysiological properties, excitation-contraction coupling, mitochondrial energetics, and transcriptional regulation in heart. Thus, it is not surprising that cardiac ICa is regulated by numerous pathways. This review will focus on changes in ICa that occur during the cardiac action potential (AP), with particular attention...
متن کاملElectronic Structure of Conjugated Polymers: Consequences of Electron}lattice Coupling
Conjugated organic polymers can be doped, via oxidation or reduction chemistry or via acid}base chemistry, to induce very high electrical conductivity. Conjugated polymers are beginning to "nd uses, in both the neutral and the doped states, in prototype molecular-based electronics applications and in electronic and opto-electronic devices. The physical basis for the many of the unusual properti...
متن کاملMaintenance of intercellular coupling by the antiarrhythmic peptide rotigaptide suppresses arrhythmogenic discordant alternans.
Discordant action potential alternans creates large gradients of refractoriness, which are thought to be the mechanisms linking T-wave alternans to cardiac arrhythmogenesis. Since intercellular coupling acts to maintain synchronization of repolarization between cells, we hypothesized that intercellular uncoupling, such as during ischemia, would initiate discordant alternans and that restoration...
