The "stress" kinases cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII), phosphorylate the Na+ channel Nav1.5 subunit to regulate its function. However, how the channel regulation translates to ventricular conduction is poorly
A case of prostatic carcinoid tumor with lymph node metastases is reported. The patient was a 78-year-old male who died in ventricular fibrillation. At autopsy, a 2 X 2 cm, white, irregular tumor was found in the prostate and there were several enlarged para-aortic lymph nodes. Both specimens
We have investigated the role of tyrosine kinase in the antiarrhythmic effects of peroxynitrite preconditioning in rat isolated heart by using a tyrosine phosphatase inhibitor, sodium orthovanadate, and tyrosine kinase inhibitors, genistein and tyrphostin. Rat hearts were preconditioned by
BACKGROUND
Electrical storm (ES), characterized by recurrent ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation, typically occurs in implantable cardioverter-defibrillator patients and adversely affects prognosis. However, the underlying molecular basis is poorly understood. In the present study, we report a new
Recent studies have shown that the sensitivity of apamin-sensitive K(+) current (I KAS, mediated by apamin-sensitive small conductance calcium-activated potassium channels subunits) to intracellular Ca(2+) is increased in heart failure (HF), leading to I KAS upregulation, action potential duration
Animal experiments were made to study and compare enzymatic activity of brain tissue mitochondria and microsomes treated and untreated with Tween-80 and Triton-X-100. In Mongolian gerbils, the 10-minute brain ischemia induced by bilateral carotid occlusion led to the labilization of the membranes of
Hypertension-induced myocardial metabolic, structural and electrophysiological remodeling deteriorates with aging and contributes to both heart failure and occurrence of malignant arrhythmias. It has been shown in clinical trials that n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) reduce the incidence
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effect of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) on blood chemistry in a canine model.
METHODS
Evaluative canine animal study.
METHODS
Animal laboratory accredited by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animals.
METHODS
Twenty-six
Diabetic patients show a higher incidence of cardiac arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation and sudden death. However, although diabetic cardiomyopathy is a frequent and important complication of diabetes mellitus, its physiological basis is not completely known. The electrocardiogram of
