Atrial Fibrillation: Abnormal cardiac rhythm that is characterized by rapid, uncoordinated firing of electrical impulses in the upper chambers of the heart (HEART ATRIA). In such case, blood cannot be effectively pumped into the lower chambers of the heart (HEART VENTRICLES). It is caused by abnormal impulse generation.Benzimidazoles: Compounds with a BENZENE fused to IMIDAZOLES.TetrazolesCaptopril: A potent and specific inhibitor of PEPTIDYL-DIPEPTIDASE A. It blocks the conversion of ANGIOTENSIN I to ANGIOTENSIN II, a vasoconstrictor and important regulator of arterial blood pressure. Captopril acts to suppress the RENIN-ANGIOTENSIN SYSTEM and inhibits pressure responses to exogenous angiotensin.Angiotensin II: An octapeptide that is a potent but labile vasoconstrictor. It is produced from angiotensin I after the removal of two amino acids at the C-terminal by ANGIOTENSIN CONVERTING ENZYME. The amino acid in position 5 varies in different species. To block VASOCONSTRICTION and HYPERTENSION effect of angiotensin II, patients are often treated with ACE INHIBITORS or with ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR BLOCKERS.Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor Blockers: Agents that antagonize ANGIOTENSIN II TYPE 1 RECEPTOR. Included are ANGIOTENSIN II analogs such as SARALASIN and biphenylimidazoles such as LOSARTAN. Some are used as ANTIHYPERTENSIVE AGENTS.1-Sarcosine-8-Isoleucine Angiotensin II: An ANGIOTENSIN II analog which acts as a highly specific inhibitor of ANGIOTENSIN TYPE 1 RECEPTOR.Tachycardia, Ectopic Atrial: Abnormally rapid heartbeats originating from one or more automatic foci (nonsinus pacemakers) in the HEART ATRIUM but away from the SINOATRIAL NODE. Unlike the reentry mechanism, automatic tachycardia speeds up and slows down gradually. The episode is characterized by a HEART RATE between 135 to less than 200 beats per minute and lasting 30 seconds or longer.Tachycardia: Abnormally rapid heartbeat, usually with a HEART RATE above 100 beats per minute for adults. Tachycardia accompanied by disturbance in the cardiac depolarization (cardiac arrhythmia) is called tachyarrhythmia.Bepridil: A long-acting calcium-blocking agent with significant anti-anginal activity. The drug produces significant coronary vasodilation and modest peripheral effects. It has antihypertensive and selective anti-arrhythmia activities and acts as a calmodulin antagonist.Tachycardia, Supraventricular: A generic expression for any tachycardia that originates above the BUNDLE OF HIS.Anti-Arrhythmia Agents: Agents used for the treatment or prevention of cardiac arrhythmias. They may affect the polarization-repolarization phase of the action potential, its excitability or refractoriness, or impulse conduction or membrane responsiveness within cardiac fibers. Anti-arrhythmia agents are often classed into four main groups according to their mechanism of action: sodium channel blockade, beta-adrenergic blockade, repolarization prolongation, or calcium channel blockade.Catheter Ablation: Removal of tissue with electrical current delivered via electrodes positioned at the distal end of a catheter. Energy sources are commonly direct current (DC-shock) or alternating current at radiofrequencies (usually 750 kHz). The technique is used most often to ablate the AV junction and/or accessory pathways in order to interrupt AV conduction and produce AV block in the treatment of various tachyarrhythmias.Aortic Valve Stenosis: A pathological constriction that can occur above (supravalvular stenosis), below (subvalvular stenosis), or at the AORTIC VALVE. It is characterized by restricted outflow from the LEFT VENTRICLE into the AORTA.Heart Valve Prosthesis Implantation: Surgical insertion of synthetic material to repair injured or diseased heart valves.Ventricular Remodeling: The geometric and structural changes that the HEART VENTRICLES undergo, usually following MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION. It comprises expansion of the infarct and dilatation of the healthy ventricle segments. While most prevalent in the left ventricle, it can also occur in the right ventricle.Aortic Valve: The valve between the left ventricle and the ascending aorta which prevents backflow into the left ventricle.Heart Atria: The chambers of the heart, to which the BLOOD returns from the circulation.Cardiac Catheterization: Procedures in which placement of CARDIAC CATHETERS is performed for therapeutic or diagnostic procedures.Sick Sinus Syndrome: A condition caused by dysfunctions related to the SINOATRIAL NODE including impulse generation (CARDIAC SINUS ARREST) and impulse conduction (SINOATRIAL EXIT BLOCK). It is characterized by persistent BRADYCARDIA, chronic ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, and failure to resume sinus rhythm following CARDIOVERSION. This syndrome can be congenital or acquired, particularly after surgical correction for heart defects.Arrhythmias, Cardiac: Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.Pacemaker, Artificial: A device designed to stimulate, by electric impulses, contraction of the heart muscles. It may be temporary (external) or permanent (internal or internal-external).Arrhythmia, Sinus: Irregular HEART RATE caused by abnormal function of the SINOATRIAL NODE. It is characterized by a greater than 10% change between the maximum and the minimum sinus cycle length or 120 milliseconds.Sinoatrial Node: The small mass of modified cardiac muscle fibers located at the junction of the superior vena cava (VENA CAVA, SUPERIOR) and right atrium. Contraction impulses probably start in this node, spread over the atrium (HEART ATRIUM) and are then transmitted by the atrioventricular bundle (BUNDLE OF HIS) to the ventricle (HEART VENTRICLE).Asymptomatic Diseases: Diseases that do not exhibit symptoms.Pulmonary Veins: The veins that return the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the left atrium of the heart.Ventricular Fibrillation: A potentially lethal cardiac arrhythmia that is characterized by uncoordinated extremely rapid firing of electrical impulses (400-600/min) in HEART VENTRICLES. Such asynchronous ventricular quivering or fibrillation prevents any effective cardiac output and results in unconsciousness (SYNCOPE). It is one of the major electrocardiographic patterns seen with CARDIAC ARREST.National Institute of General Medical Sciences (U.S.): Component of the NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH. It conducts and supports basic biomedical research that is not targeted to specific diseases and funds studies on genes, proteins, and cells, as well as on fundamental processes like communication within and between cells and metabolism.

(From Random House Unabridged Dictionary, 2d ed)Endoplasmic Reticulum: A system of cisternae in the CYTOPLASM of many cells. In places the endoplasmic reticulum is continuous with the plasma membrane (CELL MEMBRANE) or outer membrane of the nuclear envelope. If the outer surfaces of the endoplasmic reticulum membranes are coated with ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is said to be rough-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH); otherwise it is said to be smooth-surfaced (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, SMOOTH). (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)Mitochondria: Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes. (King & Stansfield, A Dictionary of Genetics, 4th ed)Membrane Potential, Mitochondrial: The voltage difference, normally maintained at approximately -180mV, across the INNER MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE, by a net movement of positive charge across the membrane. It is a major component of the PROTON MOTIVE FORCE in MITOCHONDRIA used to drive the synthesis of ATP.Drosophila melanogaster: A species of fruit fly much used in genetics because of the large size of its chromosomes.Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress: Various physiological or molecular disturbances that impair ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM function. It triggers many responses, including UNFOLDED PROTEIN RESPONSE, which may lead to APOPTOSIS; and AUTOPHAGY.Venturicidins: Toxic substances isolated from various strains of Streptomyces. They are 20-membered macrolides that inhibit oxidative phosphorylation and mitochondrial ATPases. Venturicidins A and B are glycosides. Used mainly as tools in the study of mitochondrial function.Fatty Acids: Organic, monobasic acids derived from hydrocarbons by the equivalent of oxidation of a methyl group to an alcohol, aldehyde, and then acid. Fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated (FATTY ACIDS, UNSATURATED).

Connexin 43 is a product of a gene in the alpha class of connexin genes (the alpha-1 gene). It was first isolated from mammalian heart, but is widespread in the body including the brain.Connexins: A group of homologous proteins which form the intermembrane channels of GAP JUNCTIONS. The connexins are the products of an identified gene family which has both highly conserved and highly divergent regions. The variety contributes to the wide range of functional properties of gap junctions.JNK Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases: A subgroup of mitogen-activated protein kinases that activate TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP-1 via the phosphorylation of C-JUN PROTEINS. They are components of intracellular signaling pathways that regulate CELL PROLIFERATION; APOPTOSIS; and CELL DIFFERENTIATION.Gap Junctions: Connections between cells which allow passage of small molecules and electric current. Gap junctions were first described anatomically as regions of close apposition between cells with a narrow (1-2 nm) gap between cell membranes. The variety in the properties of gap junctions is reflected in the number of CONNEXINS, the family of proteins which form the junctions.Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases: A superfamily of PROTEIN-SERINE-THREONINE KINASES that are activated by diverse stimuli via protein kinase cascades. They are the final components of the cascades, activated by phosphorylation by MITOGEN-ACTIVATED PROTEIN KINASE KINASES, which in turn are activated by mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinases (MAP KINASE KINASE KINASES).Heart Failure: A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.Atrial Appendage: Ear-shaped appendage of either atrium of the heart. (Dorland, 28th ed)Echocardiography, Transesophageal: Ultrasonic recording of the size, motion, and composition of the heart and surrounding tissues using a transducer placed in the esophagus.Atrial Function, Left: The hemodynamic and electrophysiological action of the LEFT ATRIUM.Thrombosis: Formation and development of a thrombus or blood clot in the blood vessel.Thromboembolism: Obstruction of a blood vessel (embolism) by a blood clot (THROMBUS) in the blood stream.

Pre-procedural prediction of termination of persistent atrial fibrillation by catheter ablation as an indicator of reverse remodeling of the left atrium. (1/11)

BACKGROUND: The pre-procedural prediction of atrial fibrillation (AF) termination by catheter ablation in patients with persistent AF has not been evaluated fully. The aim of this study was to evaluate the pre-procedural predictors of persistent AF termination by ablation associated with the possibility of reverse remodeling of the left atrium (LA). METHODS AND RESULTS: Seventy consecutive patients (mean age, 62+/-8 years) with persistent or long-standing persistent AF underwent ablation. They were divided into 2 groups: those with AF terminated by ablation (n=14; group 1) and those with AF terminated by cardioversion after ablation (n=56; group 2). The left atrial appendage (LAA) contraction velocity determined on transesophageal echocardiography was significantly decreased in group 2 as compared to group 1 (P<0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the group 1 patients had a higher AF-free survival rate than those in group 2 during 12+/-4.1 months of follow-up (P=0.048). The LA reverse remodeling ratio, given as the volume difference between before and 3 months after ablation in group 1, was significantly greater after ablation than that in group 2 (25.8+/-13% vs. 15.0+/-15%, P=0.015). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the LAA contraction velocity was an independent predictor of persistent AF termination by ablation (P=0.018). CONCLUSIONS: The LAA contraction velocity was the only non-invasive pre-procedural predictor of persistent AF termination by ablation, indicating the possibility of reverse remodeling of the LA.  (+info)

Changes in microRNAs expression are involved in age-related atrial structural remodeling and atrial fibrillation. (2/11)

BACKGROUND: Small noncoding microRNAs regulate gene expression in cardiac development and disease and have been implicated in the aging process and in the regulation of extracellular matrix proteins. However, their role in age-related cardiac remodeling and atrial fibrillation (AF) was not well understood. The present study was designed to decipher molecular mechanisms underlying age-related atrial structural remodeling and AF. METHODS: Three groups of dogs were studied: adult and aged dogs in sinus rhythm and with persistent AF induced by rapid atrial pacing. The expressions of microRNAs were measured by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Pathohistological and ultrastructural changes were tested by light and electron microscopy. Apoptosis index of myocytes was detected by TUNEL. RESULTS: Samples of atrial tissue showed the abnormal pathohistological and ultrastructural changes, the accelerated fibrosis, and apoptosis with aging and/or in AF dogs. Compared to the adult group, the expressions of microRNAs-21 and -29 were significantly increased, whereas the expressions of microRNAs-1 and -133 showed obvious downregulation tendency in the aged group. Compared to the aged group, the expressions of microRNAs-1, -21, and -29 was significantly increased in the old group in AF; contrastingly, the expressions of microRNA-133 showed obvious downregulation tendency. CONCLUSION: These multiple aberrantly expressed microRNAs may be responsible for modulating the transition from adaptation to pathological atrial remodeling with aging and/or in AF.  (+info)

Left atrial endocardial fibrosis and intra-atrial thrombosis - landmarks of left atrial remodeling in rats with spontaneous atrial tachyarrhythmias. (6/11)

INTRODUCTION: Histological abnormalities are common findings in the left atria (LA) of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients. We aimed to assess LA histological abnormalities in our model of spontaneous atrial tachyarrhythmias in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: LA sampling was performed in 12 spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) and eight age-matched Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. Tissue sections were stained with Masson's trichrome and Hematoxylin-Eosin-Safran and examined with a light microscope. A 0 to 3 scoring system was used to quantify the severity of LA structural abnormalities. LA von Willebrand factor (vWF) content was also assessed using immunohistochemical staining. RESULTS: In six of the eight SHRs, LA fibrosis, inflammatory infiltrates, and myocyte necrosis of varying grades of severity were observed. The most frequent feature was endocardial fibrosis, which was observed in six SHRs and in none of the WKY rats. Intra-atrial thrombosis was found in three SHRs and in none of the WKY rats. The intensity of vWF-related fluorescence was higher in the atrial endocardium of SHRs compared to age-matched WKY rats. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings reinforce the role of LA structural abnormalities in atrial arrhythmogenicity. However, two SHRs did not present LA histological abnormalities despite the presence of arrhythmias. This finding suggests that the LA remodeling-atrial tachyarrhythmia relationship could be highly nonlinear and that atrial fibrosis is more likely to be a facilitator of atrial arrhythmogenicity, rather than a prerequisite. We also provide evidence that intra-atrial thrombosis accompanies LA structural remodeling in arrhythmic rats. Increased endocardial platelet adhesion molecule vWF could contribute to this increased thrombogenicity.  (+info)

Doppler flow measurement using surface integration of velocity vectors (SIVV) : in vitro validation.  Doppler flow measurement using surface integration of velocity vectors (SIVV) : in vitro validation.
Blood flow measurement using an improved surface integration of velocity vectors (SIVV) technique was tested in in vitro phantoms. SIVV was compared with true flow (12-116 mL/s) in a steady-state model using two angles of insonation (45 degrees and 60 degrees ) and two vessel sizes (internal diameter = 11 and 19 mm). Repeatability of the method was tested at various flow rates for each angle of insonation and vessel. In a univentricular pulsatile model, SIVV flow measured at the mitral inlet was compared to true flow (29-61 mL/s). Correlation was excellent for the 19-mm vessel (r(2)= 0.99). There was a systematic bias but close limits of agreement (mean +/- 2 SD = -24.1% +/- 7.6% at 45 degrees; +16.4% +/- 11.0% at 60 degrees ). Using the 11-mm vessel, a quadratic relationship was demonstrated between between SIVV and true flow (r(2) = 0.98-0.99), regardless of the angle of insonation. In the pulsatile system, good agreement and correlation were shown (r(2) = 0.94, mean +/- 2 SD = -4.7 +/- ...

Severe Renal Artery Stenosis After Renal Sympathetic Denervation | JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions  Severe Renal Artery Stenosis After Renal Sympathetic Denervation | JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions
Since 2012, several cases of renal stenosis after renal denervation have been reported, demonstrating a wide spectrum of clinical presentation, but presenting recurrent hypertension as most relevant finding (1).. In the previous trials HTN-1 (Symplicity Renal Denervation in Patient With Refractory Hypertension) (2) and EnligHTN-I (Safety and Efficacy of Study of Renal Artery Ablation in Resistant Hypertension Patients) (3), renal artery stenosis had been attributed mainly to pre-existing artery stenosis worsening and not to a de novo procedure-related adverse event. The increasing reports of the last call into question the safety of this procedure and point to this complication as a possible cause of therapy ineffectiveness. ...

The Role of Fibroblasts in Complex Fractionated Electrograms During Persistent/Permanent Atrial Fibrillation | Circulation...  The Role of Fibroblasts in Complex Fractionated Electrograms During Persistent/Permanent Atrial Fibrillation | Circulation...
Methods and Results: We used a human atrial tissue model in heart failure and simulated propagation and spiral wave reentry with and without regionally proliferated fibroblasts. Coupling of fibroblasts to atrial myocytes resulted in shorter action potential duration, slower conduction velocity, and lower excitability. Consequently, heterogeneous fibroblast proliferation in the myocardial sheet resulted in frequent spiral wave breakups, and the bipolar electrograms recorded at the fibroblast proliferation area exhibited CFAEs. The simulations demonstrated that ablation targeting such fibroblast-derived CFAEs terminated AF, resulting from the ablation site transiently pinning the spiral wave and then pushing it out of the fibroblast proliferation area. CFAEs could not be attributed to collagen accumulation alone.. ...

  • Transverse t-tubules are a common feature in large mammalian atrial myocytes including human. (kompetenznetz-vorhofflimmern.de)
  • Objective: To determine the mechanisms underlying electrophysiological effects of palmitic (PA), stearic (SA) and oleic (OA) FFAs on sheep atrial myocytes. (umn.edu)
  • Methods: We used electrophysiological techniques, numerical simulations, biochemistry and optical imaging to examine the effects of acutely (≤ 15 min), short-term (4-6 hour) or 24-hour application of individual FFAs (10 μM) on isolated ovine left atrial myocytes (LAMs). (umn.edu)
  • Results: Acute and short-term incubation in FFAs resulted in no differences in passive or active properties of isolated left atrial myocytes (LAMs). (umn.edu)
  • Conclusions: SA disrupts t-tubular architecture and remodels properties of membrane ionic currents in sheep atrial myocytes, with potential implications in arrhythmogenesis. (umn.edu)
  • The perpetuation of AF and continuous electrophysiological disturbance (electrical remodelling) in atrial myocytes ultimately cause cell apoptosis, and then fibrotic tissue replaces the dead atrial myocytes. (bmj.com)
  • Action potential waveforms and gating of less sialylated voltage-gated Na + channels were altered consistently in ST8sia2 (−/−) atrial myocytes. (pnas.org)
  • In this issue of the JCI , Greiser and coworkers discovered that atrial remodeling in response to sustained tachycardia silences Ca 2+ signaling in isolated rabbit and human atrial myocytes. (jci.org)
  • Besides, reduced expression of V1 mysoin and L-type calcium channels on cardiac myocytes are also thought to cause cardiac remodelling. (wikipedia.org)
Conduction5
  • The AF duration, atrial effective refractory period (AERP) at four sites in the RA, and intra-atrial conduction time (CT) from the RA appendage to the other three sites were measured every week. (onlinejacc.org)
  • CHF causes atrial connexin changes, but these are not essential for CHF-related conduction disturbances and AF promotion, which are rather related primarily to fibrotic interruption of muscle bundle continuity. (ahajournals.org)
  • We therefore exploited CHF reversal to assess the reversibility of atrial connexin alterations and evaluate their contribution to CHF-related conduction disturbances and AF maintenance. (ahajournals.org)
  • Nowadays echocardiography is the mainstream technique for detecting LASRM which may cause left atrial (LA) volume expansion and atrial conduction slowing and heterogeneity. (bmj.com)
  • Intra-atrial conduction time (CT) was defined as the interval from the stimulus at the high right atrium to atrial deflection at the distal portion of the coronary sinus. (cdc.gov)

Abstract1
Extracellular matrix5
  • Hypoxic stress upsets the balance in the normal relationships between mitogenic and growth inhibiting pathways in lung, resulting in pulmonary vascular remodeling characterized by hyperplasia of pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and fibroblasts and enhanced deposition of extracellular matrix. (ovid.com)
  • BACKGROUND Galectin-3 (Gal-3) mediates extracellular matrix remodeling in heart failure, but its role in AF progression remains unexplored. (semanticscholar.org)
  • The interplay between cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their endogenous inhibitors, tissue inhibitors of MMPs (TIMPs), is thought to be critical in atrial extracellular matrix (ECM) metabolism. (elsevier.com)
  • However, LV remodeling due to structural and functional changes in the extracellular matrix (ECM) often progresses even following successful revascularization and is the most common reason for heart failure after myocardial infarction (3,4) . (onlinejacc.org)
  • Myocardial remodeling is a complex and heterogeneous process involving cardiac myocyte alterations, activation of fibroblasts, and transdifferentiation to myofibroblasts (MyoFb) as well as a dynamic functional and structural reorganization of the cardiac extracellular matrix (cECM) [ 2 , 4 - 6 ]. (hindawi.com)
Electrophysiological1
  • The objective of this study was to assess atrial electrophysiological and structural characteristics in BrS and their relationships with gene mutations. (cdc.gov)
Pulmonary8
  • Atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) reduces pulmonary vascular resistance and attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension in vivo and PASMC proliferation and collagen synthesis in vitro. (ovid.com)
  • The current study utilized an ANP null mouse model (Nppa−/−) to test the hypothesis that ANP modulates the pulmonary vascular and alveolar remodeling response to normobaric hypoxic stress. (ovid.com)
  • The contribution of progressive left atrial (LA) enlargement to elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP) in patients with WHO Group II pulmonary hypertension (PH) has not been well studied. (springer.com)
  • PURPOSE: Circumferential pulmonary (PV) vein isolation (CPVI) is the most important treatment strategy for atrial fibrillation (AF). (yonsei.ac.kr)
  • 11 With respect to repetitive activity in small atrial areas, however, Mandapati et al 12 demonstrated in healthy sheep hearts that repetitive reentry in the posterior left atrium near or at pulmonary vein ostia can produce microreentrant sources for AF. (ahajournals.org)
  • She is currently working on studies on cardiac remodeling pulmonary hypertension with the goal of understanding the influence of inflammation and finding early biomarkers of remodeling. (stanford.edu)
  • PhD, Universite Paris Sud - Paris Saclay (France), Right Heart Remodeling in Pulmonary Hypertension: from deep phenotyping to proteomics profiling. (stanford.edu)
