Physiology of the Cardiac Conduction SystemPhysiology of the Cardiac Conduction SystemThe diagnosis and management of cardiac arrhythmias has progressed rapidly as a science. Advances in the ability to diagnose and either suppress or eliminate arrhythmic substrates has taken an exponential trajectory. Wheth...
Anatomy and Physiology of the Cardiac Conduction System The intrinsic conduction system of the heart is comprised of several specialized subpopulations of cells that either spontaneously generate electrical acti... PA Iaizzo,TG Laske 被引量: 4发表: 2010年 Neuregulin-1 promotes formation of the ...
Heart failureCardiac conduction system pacing provides physiological ventricular activation by directly stimulating the conduction system. This review describes the two types of conduction system pacing: His bundle pacing (HBP) and left bundle area pacing (LBAP). The most significant advantage of HB ...
lipids, and glycogen are all stored within the cytoplasm. Cardiac muscle cells undergo twitch-type contractions with long refractory periods followed by brief relaxation periods. The relaxation is essential so the heart can fill with blood for the next cycle. The refractory period...
There is a very good review of the channels, pumps, and ion exchangers in the cell membranes of myocardial cells and a similar analysis of pacemakers and the conduction system. Myocardial contraction and relaxation and the calcium cycle that underlies these processes are considered, and three ...
Version of Record online: 29 November 2024 Abstract figure legend Scaling up ultrastructural heterogeneities and subcellular conduction to arrhythmogenesis in the heart. Lower panels: T-tubular network in a ventricular myocyte (left); Cx43 distribution (green) in a ventricular myocyte (middle); an...
The heart is a dual-pump system comprising four chambers. It is organized into the pulmonary and systemic circulation. The right atrium and ventricle deliver blood to the lungs for oxygenation (pulmonary circulation), and the left atrium and ventricle deliver oxygenated blood to the rest of the ...
The rate at which the heart contracts and the synchronization of atrial and ventricular contraction required for the efficient pumping of blood depend on the electrical properties of the cardiac muscle cells and on theconductionof electrical information from one region of the heart to another. Theact...
National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland The publication in 1628 of Harvey’s Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (An Anatomical Dissertation upon the Movement of the Heart and Blood in Animals) usually is identified as the beginning of modern experimental ...
A heart block is an abnormal heart rhythm known as an arrhythmia and can occur anywhere in the specialized conduction system of the heart. The electrical signals telling the heart to contract are partially or totally blocked between the atria and ventricles. Therefore, it is called an atrioventric...
