The Strength-Interval Curve in Cardiac Tissue
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bidomain model describes the electrical properties of cardiac tissue and is often used to simulate the response of the heart to an electric shock. The strength-interval curve summarizes how refractory tissue is excited. This paper analyzes calculations of the strength-interval curve when a stimulus is applied through a unipolar electrode. In particular, the bidomain model is used to clarify why the cathodal and anodal strength-interval curves are different, and what the mechanism of the "dip" in the anodal strength-interval curve is.

Effect of high- intensity interval training on tissue changes of collagen type 1 and fibrosis percent in male rats with myocardial infarction
Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is defined pathologically as cardiac muscle cell death due to abnormal blood flow, prolonged coronary artery ischemia, and replacement of cardiac tissue necrosis as a dense fibrotic lesion. Expression of collagen-1 protein levels and fibrosis increase after myocardial infarction in cardiac tissue. The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of...
متن کاملManufacturing a Biomimetic Biorecator in Cardiac Tissue Engineering
Introduction: The direct approach of cardiac tissue engineering is to mimic the natural tissue of heart, considering the significant role of scaffolding and mechanical simulation. Methods: To achieve this purpose, a composite Polycaprolactone (PCL)/Gelatin electrospun scaffold with a ratio of 70:30 and with the most similarities to the cardiac extracellular matrix was fabricated with aligned ...
متن کاملCardiac strength-interval curves calculated using a bidomain tissue with a parsimonious ionic current
The strength-interval curve plays a major role in understanding how cardiac tissue responds to an electrical stimulus. This complex behavior has been studied previously using the bidomain formulation incorporating the Beeler-Reuter and Luo-Rudy dynamic ionic current models. The complexity of these models renders the interpretation and extrapolation of simulation results problematic. Here we uti...
متن کاملEffects of cardiac sympathetic stimulation and ablation of canine ventricular anodal strength-interval curves.
We studied the effects of cardiac sympathetic stimulation and ablation on characteristics of the anodal-strength interval curve in 10 pentobarbital-anesthetized open-chest dogs. We gave special attention to the form and particularly the depth of early dips of the anodal strength-interval curve. When the central connections of the cardiac sympathetic nerves were intact, left stellate stimulation...
