Lifetimes of epicardial rotors in panoramic optical maps of fibrillating swine ventricles
Kay, Matthew W., Gregory P. Walcott, James D. Gladden, Sharon B. Melnick, and Jack M. Rogers. Lifetimes of epicardial rotors in panoramic optical maps of fibrillating swine ventricles. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 291: H1935–H1941, 2006. First published April 21, 2006; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00276.2006.—During ventricular fibrillation (VF), electrical activation waves are fragmented, and the h...
متن کاملCalpains and cytokines in fibrillating human atria.
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is accompanied by intracellular calcium overload. The purpose of this study was to assess the role of calcium-dependent calpains and cytokines during AF. Atrial tissue samples from 32 patients [16 with chronic AF and 16 in sinus rhythm (SR)] undergoing open heart surgery were studied. Atrial expression of calpain I and II, calpastatin, troponin T (TnT), troponin C (TnC)...
متن کاملSeismic Reflection: Upstream, Downstream, and on Earthen Dams and Dikes
High-resolution seismic reflection has been used successfully to characterize material and investigate a variety of problems associated with earthen dams and abutments. Limitations and challenges of seismic reflection when interrogating these structures and lithologies are nontrivial and require very critical thinking. Seismic reflection has proved an effective tool for mapping confining units ...
متن کاملFibrillating myocardium : rabbit warren or beehive?
Until 20 years ago, it was thought that atrial and ventricular fibrillation were highly disorganized, with tens or hundreds of tiny wandering wavelets simultaneously present and following ever-changing pathways.1 In this model, the disorganization is due to intrinsic heterogeneity of refractory periods that causes transitory islets of refractoriness about which wavelets circulate. However, abou...
متن کاملReliability based design of flood defenses and river dikes
In this paper an example is elaborated of the design of a river dike, incorporating reliability-based models. The design is demonstrated with the help of this example, which is based on [1]. 1. PROBLEM DESCRIPTION A river dike has to be designed to protect a particular region of land. The goal is to minimize the construction cost and the expected loss, due to inundation. The total cost can be e...
