Implication du récepteur 5-HT4 cardiaque humain dans la fibrillation auriculaire : rôle d’auto-anticorps dirigés contre ce récepteur ?
2004
The human cardiac 5-HT4 receptor was cloned in 1997. It is functional only in atrial myocytes where it is positively coupled via Gs to the adenylate cyclase, activates the cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA) and in consequence phosphorylates a variety of intracellular proteins implicated in excitation-contraction coupling. A number of studies suggest a role for the 5-HT4 receptor in the maintenance or elongation of atrial fibrillation. It is now accepted that certain cardiac pathologies involve auto-immune processes. Antibodies directed against the second extracellular loop of a number of cardiac G-protein linked receptors have been found. The human cardiac 5-HT4 receptor could therefore al…
Analyse et détection des électrogrammes complexes fractionnés en vue de soigner la fibrillation auriculaire à l'aide de techniques d'ablation par rad…

This manuscript presents research on the analysis and the detection of Complex Fractionated Atrial Electrograms (CFAE). In the first part, following a presentation over Atrial Fibrillation (AF) mechanisms and bioelectrical signals, the most commonly used tools for analyzing CFAE are presented. Linear tools are initially applied to signals from AF ablation procedures, then nonlinear tools are shown and integrated intoa CFAE detection algorithm. This one is based on the quantification of electrogram recurrence properties. In the second part, the cell and cardiac muscle tissue are described and simulated using mathematical models. Models such as FitzHugh Nagumo, Aliev Panfilov and Courtemanche…
