cardiovascular system
• tamoxifen treated mice exhibit a more reduced heart rate in response to carbachol and adenosine A1-agonist CCPA compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
• following tamoxifen treatment, mice exhibit reduced hyperpolarization-activated current (If) density and faster activation kinetics of the residual current compared to in wild-type mice
• however, residual hyperpolarization-activated current (If) is normally blocked by cesium
• following tamoxifen treatment, mice exhibit frequent sinus pauses in an otherwise normal electrocardiogram
• following tamoxifen treatment, 6 out of 11 sinoatrial nodes exhibit altered action potentials with membrane potentials that drift to hyperpolarization and cessation of discharge

mortality/aging
• approximately 20% of mice die suddenly with no ante-mortem indication of illness within 60 days after high dose tamoxifen treatment

cardiovascular system
• ablation of sinoatrial node cells following tamoxifen treatment that varies depending on tamoxifen dose
• tamoxifen induced ablation of sinoatrial node cells is accompanied by a destructive fibrosis of nodal tissue
• following 5 days of tamoxifen treatment show alternating periods of slow and fast frequencies in R-R tachograms
• alterations of long electrical standstills (sinus pauses) and intermittent rapid atrial activity following tamoxifen treatment
• following 5 days of tamoxifen treatment absolute value of the maximally (isoprenaline) stimulated heart rate remained low
• following 5 days of high or low dose tamoxifen treatment heart rate falls by about 40 - 50% or 12%, respectively
• variety of cardiac rhythm disturbances; including sino-atrial arrhythmia, sino-atrial pause and to a minor extent supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia, following tamoxifen treatment
• complete heart block some weeks after tamoxifen treatment
• following tamoxifen treatment
• progressive prolongation of the P-R interval tends to result in complete isolated contraction of atria and ventricles with high dose tamoxifen treatment

muscle
• ablation of sinoatrial node cells following tamoxifen treatment that varies depending on tamoxifen dose
