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

Abstract

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.

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.
