Spatiotemporal characterization of the transition from sinus rhythm to ventricular fibrillation during an acute ischemic event in the intact human heart by whole-heart sock-mapping
نویسندگان
چکیده
The accurate characterization of the spatiotemporal pattern of electrical activation and repolarization during ischemia is relevant for diagnosis and sudden cardiac death prediction. Although several animal studies have comprehensively described changes in acute ischemic models in the dog, cat, and pig, data from whole-heart mapping of acute ischemia in the in vivo human heart are scant and are needed to complement animal models.

Modulation of extracellular atrioventricular node field potential pattern and ventricular rhythm by morphine in experimental atrial fibrillation in isolated rabbit heart
Introduction: Endorphins are produced by cardiomyocytes, and exert different effects on the heart. The aim of the present study is to assess morphine effects on extracellular atrioventricular (AV) node field potential pattern and ventricular rhythm of isolated rabbit heart during experimental atrial fibrillation (AF). Methods: Effects of different concentrations of morphine (10, 20, 50 and 1...

Introduction: Bifid T waves are seen in healthy young children and alcoholic adults. They also occur in certain pathological conditions, including organic heart diseases, and the central nervous system disorder. Myocardial ischemia can affect T wave morphology in a variety of ways one of which is t wave change as bifid t wave observed in QTc prolongation forms oc-curring in acute coronary event...
