Cardiac electrophysiology

The cardiac cycle in the normal human heart is initiated by the sinoatrial (SA) node. The excitation wave spreads through the atria at a velocity of about 1 m/s. The electroanatomy of the heart separates the atria and ventricles (two-chamber heart) so that the excitatory wave can be delayed before it reaches the ventricles. This delay of about 0.15 s is performed in the zone of the atrioventricular (AV) node, and permits a filling of the [Pg.412]

Important clinical use of ECG data is to look for beat-to-beat differences, both waveform and repetition rate (variation in the beat-to-beat Q-T interval is called dispersion), arrhythmias, blocks, detection of ischemia, and infarcted muscle volumes and their positions. [Pg.413]

When I started as a novice in the field of cardiac electrophysiology, the dogma was that gap junctions are specialized membrane structures present in the cardiac and smooth muscle of vertebrates where they serve to propagate the action potential from cell to cell. Purkinje fibers and muscular trabeculae were the preferred cardiac preparations. These multicellular preparations were suitable to perform cable analyses and diffusion studies. At that time, my mentor, Silvio Weidmann, had already accomplished his elegant functional studies. [Pg.154]

One important implication of this increasingly complex view of the molecular basis of cardiac electrophysiology is that variations in many genes may... [Pg.211]
