Acidosis slows electrical conduction through the atrio-ventricular node
Acidosis affects the mechanical and electrical activity of mammalian hearts but comparatively little is known about its effects on the function of the atrio-ventricular node (AVN). In this study, the electrical activity of the epicardial surface of the left ventricle of isolated Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts was examined using optical methods. Perfusion with hypercapnic Tyrode's solution (...
متن کاملAtrio-ventricular conduction following radiofrequency ablation for atrio-ventricular node reentry tachycardia in children.
AIMS The study was designed to assess atrio-ventricular (AV) conduction with non-invasive methods at least 1 year after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of the slow pathway for AV node reentry tachycardia. METHODS AND RESULTS Medical records of all patients who underwent RFA before their 18th birthday were reviewed. Patients were brought back for clinical evaluation, an electrocardiogram, an exe...
متن کاملUpper atrio-ventricular nodal beats precipitated by ventricular extrasystoles with retrograde conduction.
The patient was a 75-year-old man with a four years' history of nocturnal attacks of cardiac asthma, increasing dyspncea, and cedema of the feet. On admission he was found to be suffering from hypertensive cardiac failure. The blood pressure was 210/120 mm. Hg. The heart action was regular, rate 112. Radiological examination showed enlargement of the heart with evidence of pulmonary congestion....
متن کاملProlongation of atrio-ventricular node conduction in a rabbit model of ischaemic cardiomyopathy: Role of fibrosis and connexin remodelling.
Conduction abnormalities are frequently associated with cardiac disease, though the mechanisms underlying the commonly associated increases in PQ interval are not known. This study uses a chronic left ventricular (LV) apex myocardial infarction (MI) model in the rabbit to create significant left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) 8weeks post-MI. In vivo studies established that the PQ interval incre...
متن کاملThe Effect of Steroid Therapy on Normal and Abnormal Atrio-ventricular Conduction.
Since a report by Prinzmetal and Kennamer (1954) illustrating the return of sinus rhythm in a case of heart block after an injection of corticotrophin, a number of reports on the use of corticosteroids in this context has been published. Some of these have continued to show recovery of sinus rhythm as the principal effect (Phelps and Lindsay, 1957; Aber and Jones, 1960; Dall and Buchanan, 1961,...
