Sophisticated architecture is required for the sinoatrial node to perform its normal pacemaker function.

Abstract:

:The heart's pacemaker, the sinoatrial node, does not consist of a group of uniform sinoatrial node cells embedded in atrial muscle. Instead, it is a heterogeneous tissue with multiple cell types and a complex structure. Evidence suggests that from the periphery to the center of the sinoatrial node, there is a gradient in action potential shape, pacemaking, ionic current densities, connexin expression, Ca2+ handling, myofilament density, and cell size. This complexity may be necessary for the sinoatrial node to pacemake under diverse conditions, drive the more hyperpolarized atrial muscle, and resist proarrhythmic perturbations.

  • Clinical efficacy of open-irrigated electrode cooled with half-normal saline for initially failed radiofrequency ablation of idiopathic outflow tract ventricular arrhythmias.

    abstract:BACKGROUND:Acute failure of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) occur in 10%-20% of patients and is partly attributed to inadequate lesion depth acquired with standard ablation protocols. Half-normal saline (HNS)-irrigation is a promising strategy to improve the success rate of VA ablation. ...
