Enhanced dispersion of repolarization explains increased arrhythmogenesis in severe versus therapeutic hypothermia.

BACKGROUND Hypothermia is proarrhythmic, and, as the use of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) increases, it is critically important to understand the electrophysiological effects of hypothermia on cardiac myocytes and arrhythmia substrates. We tested the hypothesis that hypothermia-enhanced transmural dispersion of repolarization (DOR) is a mechanism of arrhythmogenesis in hypothermia. In addition, ...

Transmural dispersion in LQT3 and arrhythmogenesis

We thank Dr. Opthof and Dr. Coronel for the interest in our recently published work [1] and appreciate their comments. We aimed at developing a novel intact heart model of LQT3 for a better understanding of the mechanisms by which functional electrical instability at the level of the whole heart leads to torsade de pointes (TdP). The potassium concentration was repeatedly lowered to design an e...

Transmural dispersion in LQT3 and arrhythmogenesis.

At the end of the 19th century Einthoven described the configuration of the human ECG [1] and in later papers he elaborated on the magnitude and direction of its components [2]. From an intellectual point of view it is in fact unacceptable that we still do not know exactly how the T wave emerges. More precisely, we may understand how (dispersion in) repolarization within the ventricles transfor...

Amplified transmural dispersion of repolarization as the basis for arrhythmogenesis in a canine ventricular-wedge model of short-QT syndrome.

BACKGROUND The short-QT syndrome is a new clinical entity characterized by corrected QT intervals <300 ms and a high incidence of ventricular tachycardia (VT) and fibrillation (VF). Gain-of-function mutations in the gene for outward potassium currents have been shown to underlie the congenital syndrome. The present study examined the cellular basis of VT/VF in an experimental model associated w...

Dispersion of repolarization in cardiac resynchronization therapy.

BACKGROUND Proarrhythmic effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) as a result of increased transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR) induced by left ventricular (LV) epicardial pacing in a subset of vulnerable patients have been reported. The possibility of identifying these patients by ECG repolarization indices has been suggested. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to te...
