Computer three-dimensional reconstruction of the sinoatrial node.
BACKGROUND There is an effort to build an anatomically and biophysically detailed virtual heart, and, although there are models for the atria and ventricles, there is no model for the sinoatrial node (SAN). For the SAN to show pacemaking and drive atrial muscle, theoretically, there should be a gradient in electrical coupling from the center to the periphery of the SAN and an interdigitation of...
متن کاملComputer three-dimensional reconstruction of the atrioventricular node.
Because of its complexity, the atrioventricular node (AVN), remains 1 of the least understood regions of the heart. The aim of the study was to construct a detailed anatomic model of the AVN and relate it to AVN function. The electric activity of a rabbit AVN preparation was imaged using voltage-dependent dye. The preparation was then fixed and sectioned. Sixty-five sections at 60- to 340-micro...
متن کاملElectron Cryomicroscopy and Three-dimensional Computer Reconstruction of Biological Molecules
The transmission electron microscope (TEM) is a versatile device used in fields ranging from material science to cell biology to biochemistry. In a light microscope, the light wavelength is typically about 5000 Å, which makes it the primary resolution-limiting factor. In aTEM,however, the electron wavelength is typically less than 0.04 Å, much smaller than the size of a single atom. The resolut...
متن کاملSinoatrial-node entrance block.
Sinus-node function was characterized in 13 patients during cardiac catheterization by the introduction of progressively premature atrial depolarizations. Curves relating the extent of sinus-node depression following these premature depolarizations and their degree of prematurity were constructed. The maximum extent of sinus-node depression following premature depolarizations and A-V-nodal and ...
متن کاملSinoatrial conduction in children: an index of sinoatrial node function.
The premature atrial stimulus technique was used to evaluate sinoatrial conduction (SAC) in 50 children (age range 6 months to 21 years; median 6.5 years) to obtain normal values of sinoatrial conduction time (SACT) and to determine the usefulness of the technique in evaluation of sinoatrial node (SAN) dysfunction in children. The results in the normal group (n = 20) were compared with those of...
