The hibernators heart. Nature's response to arrhythmogenesis?
نویسندگان
چکیده
See article by Saitongdee et al. [1] (pages 108 –115) in 2. Conduction at low temperature this issue. Cardiac action potential propagation depends on the combination of action potential upstroke velocity and electrical cell-to-cell communication via gap junctions.

Objective(s): Drug-induced atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered an adverse effect of chemotherapeutic drugs. AF is a crucial risk factor for stroke, heart failure, myocardial infarction, and mortality. Pulmonary veins (PVs) are considered triggers inducing AF, and the sinoatrial node (SAN) may modulate PV activity and participate in AF genesis. AF was associated with...
متن کاملThe effect of temperature on isolated perfused hearts of heterothermic marsupials.
1. The thermal response of isolated perfused hearts of four dasyurid marsupials was determined and compared with that of two rodents. 2. Heart beat rate was strongly temperature dependent in all species. 3. The temperature of cardiac arrest in the species investigated in the present study and of others collected from the literature occurred at a mean of about 13 degrees C in homeotherms, 7 degr...
متن کاملMechanisms of shock-induced arrhythmogenesis during acute global ischemia.
Little is known about the mechanisms of vulnerability and defibrillation under ischemic conditions. We investigated these mechanisms in 18 Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts during 75% reduced-flow ischemia. Electrical activity was optically mapped from the anterior epicardium during right ventricular shocks applied at various phases of the cardiac cycle while the excitation-contraction decoupl...
متن کاملMyocardial performance and adaptive energy pathways in a torpid mammalian hibernator.
The hearts of mammalian hibernators maintain contractile function in the face of severe environmental stresses during winter heterothermy. To enable survival in torpor, hibernators regulate the expression of numerous genes involved in excitation-contraction coupling, metabolism, and stress response pathways. Understanding the basis of this transition may provide new insights into treatment of h...

J Appl Physiol 92: 2640–2647, 2002; 10.1152/ japplphysiol.01007.2001.—Hibernators are unique among mammals in their ability to attain, withstand, and reverse low body temperatures. Hibernators repeatedly cycle between body temperatures near zer...
