Abstract:
:Sinoatrial conduction times, estimated by premature atrial stimulation, were compared with direct measurement of the sinoatrial conduction time in 15 isolated rabbit sinus node preparations before and after intrasinusal pacemaker shifts induced by cooling. Transmembrane potentials and surface electrograms were recorded from the sinus node and crista terminalis. Extracellular sinus node activity was recorded in five preparations. Mapping was performed at 38 degrees C and 35 degrees C to determine the site of the dominant pacemaker. The sinus cycle was significantly longer at 35 degrees C (319.4 ms vs 258.1 ms). Intracellular measured conduction time was significantly shorter (63.8 ms vs 70.4 ms) because of caudal shift of the dominant pacemaker. Estimated sinoatrial conduction time was significantly longer (110.3 ms vs 85.4 ms) owing to the depression of automaticity by the extrastimulus. Extracellular measured conduction time did not differ significantly from intracellular measured conduction time. These results suggest that intrasinusal pacemaker shift may explain inaccuracies in indirect estimations of sinoatrial conduction time by atrial pacing techniques. Extracellular recordings appear to be a better method of evaluating sinoatrial conduction times.
