Measurement and regulation of cardiac ventricular repolarization: from the QT interval to repolarization morphology
Ventricular repolarization (VR) is a crucial step in cardiac electrical activity because it corresponds to a recovery period setting the stage for the next heart contraction. Small perturbations of the VR process can predispose an individual to lethal arrhythmias. In this review, I aim to provide an overview of the methods developed to analyse static and dynamic aspects of the VR process when r...
متن کاملRepolarization Heterogeneity: Beyond the QT Interval
R esearch over the past 2 decades has suggested that significant differences exist in the action potentials of endocardial, epicardial, and mid-myocardial (M) cells that comprise the ventricular myocardium. Relative differences in the time course of repolarization of these 3 cell types, referred to as transmural dispersion of repolarization (TDR), is largely responsible for the inscription of t...
متن کاملEctopic expression of KCNE3 accelerates cardiac repolarization and abbreviates the QT interval.
Regulatory subunit KCNE3 (E3) interacts with KCNQ1 (Q1) in epithelia, regulating its activation kinetics and augmenting current density. Since E3 is expressed weakly in the heart, we hypothesized that ectopic expression of E3 in cardiac myocytes might abbreviate action potential duration (APD) by interacting with Q1 and augmenting the delayed rectifier current (I(K)). Thus, we transiently coexp...
متن کامل[Corrected QT interval and corrected QT interval dispersion is worthwhile when interpreted with other repolarization measurements].
We read the article entitled ‘‘The effect of esmolol on corrected-QT interval, corrected-QT interval dispersion changes seen during anesthesia induction in hypertensive patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor’’ by Ceker et al. with interest.1 The authors investigated the effects of esmolol on the hemodynamic, correctedQT (QTc) interval and corrected-QT interval dispersion (QT...
متن کاملQT Interval Shortening With Isavuconazole: In Vitro and In Vivo Effects on Cardiac Repolarization
The effects of isavuconazole (active moiety of isavuconazonium sulfate) on cardiac ion channels in vitro and cardiac repolarization clinically were assessed in a phase I, randomized, double-blind study in healthy individuals who received isavuconazole (after 2-day loading dose), at therapeutic or supratherapeutic doses daily for 11 days, moxifloxacin (400 mg q.d.), or placebo. A post-hoc analys...
