Abstract

Action potential duration (APD) alternans (APD-ALT), defined as beat-to-beat oscillations in APD, has been proposed as an important clinical marker for chronic atrial fibrillation (cAF) risk when it occurs at pacing rates of 120-200 beats/min. Although the ionic mechanisms for occurrence of APD-ALT in human cAF at these clinically relevant rates have been investigated, little is known about the effects of myofilament protein kinetics on APD-ALT. Therefore, we used computer simulations of single cell function to explore whether remodeling in myofilament protein kinetics in human cAF alters the occurrence of APD-ALT and to uncover how these mechanisms are affected by sarcomere length and the degree of cAF-induced myofilament remodeling. Mechanistically based, bidirectionally coupled electromechanical models of human right and left atrial myocytes were constructed, incorporating both ionic and myofilament remodeling associated with cAF. By comparing results from our electromechanical model with those from the uncoupled ionic model, we found that intracellular Ca2+ concentration buffering of troponin C has a dampening effect on the magnitude of APD-ALT (APD-ANM) at slower rates (150 beats/min) due to the cooperativity between stron...Continue Reading

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
