abstract

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 concentrations of l - argenine (250 μm - 5000 μm) were added to the solution. programmed stimulation protocols were used to quantify av nodal conduction time, refractoriness and zone of concealment. af protocol was executed by software with coupling intervals (ranging from 75 – 125 msec). results: l-name had depressive effects on basic av nodal properties. l-arginine (250μm) had direct inhibitory effects on nodal conduction time, wenckebach and refractoriness. significant increases in the number of concealed beats were induced by l-arginine (500 μm ). number of concealed beats were increased from 700.7 ± 33.7 to 763 ±21 msec (p<0.05). trend of zone of concealment prolongation in a frequency-dependent model was abrogated by larginine (250, 5000 μm). conclusion: no at low concentration (in the presence of l-name) had facilitatory role on av nodal properties, but at high concentration (in the presence of l-arginine) enhanced protective role of av node during af. biphasic modulatory role of no may affect protective behavior of av node during af.

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...
