Dynamic restitution of action potential duration during electrical alternans and ventricular fibrillation.
The restitution kinetics of action potential duration (APD) were investigated in paced canine Purkinje fibers (P; n = 9) and endocardial muscle (M; n = 9), in isolated, perfused canine left ventricles during ventricular fibrillation (VF; n = 4), and in endocardial muscle paced at VF cycle lengths (simulated VF; n = 4). Restitution was assessed with the use of two protocols: delivery of a single...

متن کاملElectrical restitution and spatiotemporal organization during ventricular fibrillation.
Despite recent advances in our understanding of the mechanism for ventricular fibrillation (VF), important electrophysiological aspects of the development of VF still are poorly defined. It has been suggested that the onset of VF involves the disintegration of a single spiral wave into many self-perpetuating waves. It has been further suggested that such a process requires that the slope of the...
متن کاملAction potential duration restitution kinetics in human atrial fibrillation.
OBJECTIVES We undertook this study to determine whether human atrial fibrillation (AF) relates to steeply sloped action potential duration restitution (APDR) kinetics and whether the spatial nonuniformity of APDR promotes persistence of AF. BACKGROUND A steeply sloped APDR curve is known to be an important determinant of the induction of more complex action potential duration (APD) dynamics a...
متن کاملAction potential duration restitution and ventricular fibrillation due to rapid focal excitation.
The focal source hypothesis of ventricular fibrillation (VF) posits that rapid activation from a focal source, rather than action potential duration (APD) restitution properties, is responsible for the maintenance of VF. We injected aconitine (100 microg) into normal isolated perfused swine right ventricles (RVs) stained with 4-[beta-[2-(di-n-butylamino)-6-naphthyl]vinyl]pyridinium (di-4-ANEPPS...
