Protective effects of simvastatin on atrioventricular node during simulated experimental atrial fibrillation in vitro
Introduction: Recent evidence has indicated that statins can reduce the incidence of both supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with various mechanisms. The primary goal of the present study was to determine direct protective role of simvastatin in modifying concealed conduction and the zone of concealment in a simulated model of atrial fibrillation (AF) in an isolated atrioventricula...
متن کاملAtrioventricular Node Slow‐Pathway Ablation Reduces Atrial Fibrillation Inducibility: A Neuronal Mechanism
BACKGROUND Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia appears to reduce atrial tachycardia, which might relate to parasympathetic denervation at cardiac ganglionated plexuses. METHODS AND RESULTS Compared to 7 control canines without RFA, in 14 canines, RFA at the bottom of Koch's triangle attenuated vagal stimulation-induced effective refractory periods pr...
متن کاملEffects of cavotricuspid isthmus ablation on atrioventricular node electrophysiology in patients with typical atrial flutter.
BACKGROUND The atrial musculature in the cavotricuspid isthmus is a part of posterior inputs to the AV node. In patients with typical atrial flutter, effects of radiofrequency ablation of this isthmus on AV node conduction are still unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS This study included 16 patients with clinically documented typical atrial flutter. Group 1 had 8 patients without and group 2 had 8 p...
متن کاملRole of nitric oxide on the electrophysiological properties of isolated rabbit atrioventricular node by extracellular field potential during atrial fibrillation
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to determine direct effects of NO modulation on protective electrophysiological properties of atrioventricular node (AV node) in the experimental model of AF in rabbit. Methods: Isolated perfused rabbit AV nodal preparations were used in two groups. In the first group (N=7), LNAME (50μM) was applied. In the second group (N=12), different concent...
