Cellular uncoupling can unmask dispersion of action potential duration in ventricular myocardium. A computer modeling study.
Although slow conduction is a requirement for the preparation of sustained reentry, it alone is not sufficient for the initiation of reentry. Additionally, unidirectional block and recovery of excitability distal to the site of block must occur. Thus, a comprehensive description of the electrophysiological determinants of reentry must explain both slow conduction and unidirectional block. Altho...
متن کاملModeling of carbon monoxide dispersion around the urban tunnel portals
The aim of this study is to investigate the problems caused by discharge of polluted air from tunnels into the environment with a specific focus on residential areas. In city tunnels, portal or stacks, pollutant management is a big challenge. Nowadays, air quality management, particularly in urban tunnels, is considered as a part of the ventilation system design. The goal is to see the environm...

متن کاملComputational modeling of passive myocardium
This work deals with the computational modeling of passive myocardial tissue within the framework of mixed, non-linear finite element methods. We consider a recently proposed, convex, anisotropic hyperelastic model that accounts for the locally orthotropic micro-structure of cardiac muscle. A coordinate-free representation of anisotropy is incorporated through physically relevant invariants of ...
متن کاملG protein-coupled receptor kinases in normal and failing myocardium.
Heart failure (HF) is the end stage of many underlying cardiovascular diseases and is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in industrialized countries. One of the striking characteristics of HF is the desensitization of G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling, particularly the beta-adrenergic receptor (betaAR) system. GPCR desensitization is initiated by phosphorylation by GP...
