Cardiac electrophysiology of adenosine. Basic and clinical concepts.
A denosine is an endogenous nucleoside that has potent electrophysiologic effects.1-4 As an antiarrhythmic agent, adenosine has several unique properties: 1) it is an intermediate metabolite (Figure 1), 2) it has a very short half-life (less than 1.5 seconds), 3) its effects are mediated by specific membrane receptors coupled to guanine nucleotide binding proteins (G proteins), and 4) it has si...
متن کاملBasic and clinical electrophysiology of pulmonary vein ectopy.
In a subset of patients, atrial fibrillation is caused by rapidly firing foci that are often located in the pulmonary veins especially when fibrillation is paroxysmal. Histologic data show that myocardial tissue of the left atrial wall extends into the pulmonary venous walls. Both in dog and human pulmonary veins, arrangement of the myofibers is complex. Clinical and animal studies reveal both ...
متن کاملThe links between basic and clinical cardiac electrophysiology.
FORTY OR 50 years ago, the terms "clinical" and "basic" cardiac electrophysiology described two sides of the same coin. The clinical electrophysiologist was an electrocardiographer; the basic electrophysiologist used electrographic and electrocardiographic techniques to study the hearts of animals or isolated tissues obtained therefrom. Clinical and basic electrophysiol-ogists shared a common l...
متن کاملBasic Cardiac Electrophysiology: Excitable Membranes
D.C. Sigg et al. (eds.), Cardiac Electrophysiology Methods and Models, DOI 10.1007/978-1-4419-6658-2_2, © Springer Science + Business Media, LLC 2010 Abstract Cardiomyocytes are excitable cells that have the ability to contract after excitation; therefore, each heartbeat is an event of electrical–mechanical coupling. Cardiac electrical activity at different levels can be measured through variab...
متن کاملThe Electrophysiology of Basic Phrase Building
A defining trait of linguistic competence is the ability to combine elements into increasingly complex structures to denote, and to comprehend, a potentially infinite number of meanings. Recent magnetoencephalography (MEG) work has investigated these processes by comparing the response to nouns in combinatorial (blue car) and non-combinatorial (rnsh car) contexts. In the current study we extend...
