Reentrant circuits in the canine atrioventricular node during atrial and ventricular echoes: electrophysiological and histological correlation.
BACKGROUND The anatomic-electrophysiological correlation of AV nodal reentry is unclear. To localize reentrant circuits during atrial and ventricular echoes and to characterize sites of slow conduction and block, we correlated histology with electrophysiology of the AV node. METHODS AND RESULTS In 10 isolated dog hearts, extracellular electrical activity was recorded in Koch's triangle at 208...
متن کاملReentrant pathway during ventricular echoes is confined to the atrioventricular node : high-resolution mapping and dissection of the triangle of koch in isolated, perfused canine hearts.
Background-During ventricular echoes, reentrant excitation is supposed to involve 2 functionally distinct pathways in the atrioventricular (AV) nodal area. The exact pathway of reentrant excitation is unknown. The objectives of this study were to analyze electrical activity in the AV nodal area after ventricular stimulation and during ventricular echoes and to assess the role of perinodal atria...
متن کاملProtective 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 کاملMechanisms of resetting reentrant circuits in canine ventricular tachycardia.
BACKGROUND Resetting has been used to characterize reentrant circuits causing clinical tachycardias. METHODS AND RESULTS To determine the mechanisms of resetting, sustained ventricular tachycardia was induced in dogs with 4-day-old myocardial infarctions by programmed stimulation. Premature stimulation was accomplished from multiple regions within reentrant circuits; resetting curves were con...
متن کاملDevelopment of multiform ventricular tachycardia during atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia.
A woman of 18 presented with a supraventricular tachycardia, subsequently shown to be caused by atrioventricular nodal reentry, which abruptly deteriorated to a multiform ventricular tachycardia. She had not received any antiarrhythmic drugs nor did she have any of the disorders that are usually associated with this atypical ventricular tachycardia.
