Measurement of heart rate and Q-T interval in the conscious mouse.

چکیده
Transgenic mouse models provided a powerful tool to evaluate the physiological significance of altered quantities or characteristics of specific gene products, such as cardiac ion channels. We have developed a system to record and analyze changes in the electrocardiogram in the mouse using an implantable telemetry system. The R-R and Q-T intervals were measured on individual beats and on signal-averaged complexes derived from 1, 2, or 4 s of contiguous data each hour during a 24-h period in three male and three female FVB mice. Duration of averaging had minimal effect on the measured Q-T. The Q-T interval was shown to be related to the square root of the R-R interval, and an appropriate formula for a rate-corrected Q-T interval (Q-Tc) was derived. Ketamine anesthesia was shown to markedly increase duration and variability in R-R, Q-T, and Q-Tc intervals. In conscious animals, variability in Q-T was low across animals and over time, suggesting that this should be a sensitive model for detection of changes in the Q-T interval in transgenic mice with ion channel defects.

Q-T interval prolongation in cirrhosis: Relationship and severity
Background: Cirrhosis as the final stage of progressive fibrosis of liver can affect other organs such as lungs, kidneys and heart. "Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy" involves the electrophysiological abnormalities such as QT interval prolongation. We assessed correlation between corrected QT interval prolongation and severity of cirrhosis based on Child Classification in each ECG lead. ...
متن کاملBackground & Objective : Heart failure is a clinical syndrome and increases in rate by aging. Because changes in ECG and electrolytes are variable, specific and sometimes independent to the disease with different methods to be diagnosed, in this study we tried to find a way to diagnose them. Materials & Methods: This is a retrospective descriptive-analytic study. Data was collected from dec...

Background and Objectives: Smoking affects heart function, lung function and vitamin D levels, and decrease in serum levels of vitamin D, heart rate variability (HRV) and drop in pulmonary function cause cardiovascular disease. So, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of one course of intense interval training on serum levels of vitamin D, HRV and lung function in male ...

Exercise training is recommended to improve these failures. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of interval exercise training on heart rate recovery (HRR) and heart rate variability af...
متن کاملModelling heart rate changes in the mouse as a system of delayed, weakly coupled oscillators
The measurement of cardiovascular variables such as heart rate (HR) and blood pressure (BP) in conscious experimental animals is complicated by the complexity of the signals involved. In anaesthetised (or over short time periods in conscious) animals the BP can be simply described as a sinusoidal wave with peak and trough defined as systolic and diastolic BP, respectively, whilst the HR is the ...
