Patrones de activación durante la fibrilación auricular en un modelo experimental

1999

Introduccion y objetivos En la fibrilacion auricular junto a los mecanismos de reentrada y de activacion aleatoria se han descrito patrones de activacion focal que se han atribuido tanto a propagacion desde el endocardio como a la existencia de zonas de actividad automatica. Los objetivos del presente estudio son analizar y cuantificar los patrones de activacion auricular en un modelo experimental de fibrilacion. Material y metodos Se estudian 11 preparaciones de corazon aislado de conejo segun la tecnica de Langendorff en los que se inducen episodios de fibrilacion auricular mediante sobreestimulacion tras haber provocado dilatacion auricular derecha con un balon intraauricular. Utilizando…

Modificaciones agudas de la longitud de onda del proceso de activación auricular inducidas por la dilatación. Estudio experimental

1998

Objetivos Estudiar en un modelo experimental las modificaciones agudas de la longitud de onda del proceso de activacion auricular inducidas por la dilatacion auricular. Material y metodos En 10 preparaciones de corazon aislado y perfundido de conejo segun la tecnica de Langendorff, mediante mapeo epicardico con un electrodo multiple se determina en la auricula derecha la longitud de onda del proceso de activacion auricular (periodo refractario funcional × velocidad de conduccion) y se analiza la inducibilidad de respuestas repetitivas auriculares rapidas, cuantificando su numero tras 20 episodios de sobreestimulacion auricular rapida. Las determinaciones se efectuan en situacion basal, tras…

Modelos animales de enfermedad cardiovascular

2009

La utilizacion de modelos animales para el estudio de enfermedades cardiovasculares ha contribuido sustancialmente al progreso en el conocimiento de su patogenia y ha permitido el desarrollo de tecnicas diagnosticas y la validacion de procedimientos preventivos y terapeuticos, tanto farmacologicos como intervencionistas. Las diferencias existentes entre la enfermedad humana y la inducida experimentalmente, tanto en los mecanismos de regulacion genetica como en los factores que determinan la funcion cardiaca y vascular, son sus principales limitaciones. Entre los modelos y las preparaciones empleados en la investigacion cardiovascular, se encuentran los basados en la utilizacion de celulas a…

The Effects of Selective Stellate Ganglion Manipulation on Ventricular Refractoriness and Excitability

1992

The effects of selective stellate ganglion stimulation or stellectomy on ventricular excitability were studied in 30 open chest mongrel dogs anesthetized with alpha-chloralose. The effective refractory period (ERP) and strength interval curves (stimulus intensity [S2] = twice the diastolic threshold [ERP], and 2, 3, 5, 7, and 14 mA) were determined using bipolar epicardial electrodes placed in the mid-anterior wall of the right ventricle (RV) and the mid-posterolateral wall of the left ventricle (LV) during left stellate ganglion stimulation (LSGSt, n = 8) or right stellate ganglion stimulation (RSGSt, n = 8), or after left stellectomy (LSGEx, n = 7) or right stellectomy (RSGEx, n = 7). LSG…

Dofetilide effects on the inhibition by trains of subthreshold conditioning stimuli.

2004

We investigated the electrophysiological actions of dofetilide upon the ventricular myocardium to determine whether the drug modifies the inhibitory effects of subthreshold stimuli trains upon ventricular refractoriness. In nine Langendorff perfused rabbit hearts, ventricular epicardial electrodes were used to determine the following parameters at baseline and during dofetilide perfusion (0.5 micromolar): effective (ERP) and functional (FRP) refractory periods, conduction velocity (CV), wavelength (WL), and ERP prolongation (inhibitory effect) induced by subthreshold stimuli trains (STr) at pulse frequencies of 100, 300, and 600 Hz. Dofetilide significantly prolongs ventricular refractorine…

Animal Models of Cardiovascular Disease

2009

The use of animal models to study cardiovascular disease has made a substantial contribution to increasing our understanding of disease pathogenesis, has led to the development of diagnostic techniques, and has made it possible to verify the effectiveness of different preventative and therapeutic approaches, whether pharmacological or interventional. The main limitations stem from differences between human and experimentally induced pathology, in terms of both genetic regulatory mechanisms and factors that influence cardiovascular function. The experimental models and preparations used in cardiovascular research include those based on isolated cells or tissues or structures immersed in orga…
