Abstract

While cardiac function in the mature heart is dependent on a properly functioning His-Purkinje system, the early embryonic tubular heart efficiently pumps blood without a distinct specialized conduction system. Although His-Purkinje system precursors have been identified using immunohistological techniques in the looped heart, little is known whether these precursors function electrically. To address this question, we used high-resolution optical mapping and fluorescent dyes with two CCD cameras to describe the motion-corrected activation patterns of 76 embryonic chick hearts from tubular stages (stage 10) to mature septated hearts (stage 35). Ventricular activation in the tubular looped heart (stages 10-17) using both calcium-sensitive fluo-4 and voltage-sensitive di-4-ANEPPS shows sequentially uniform propagation. In late looped hearts (stages 18-22), domains of the dorsal and lateral ventricle are preferentially activated before spreading to the remaining myocardium and show alternating regions of fast and slow propagation. During stages 22-26, action potentials arise from the dorsal ventricle. By stages 27-29, action potential breakthrough is also observed at the right ventricle apex. By stage 31, activation of the heart pr...Continue Reading
