cardiovascular system
• after aortic cannulation and Langendorff-perfusion, whole isolated hearts show marked rate slowing
|
• display ventricular tachycardia during continuous pacing or after the delivery of S2 stimuli at shorter S1-S2 intervals
|
• exhibit a 50% reduction in sodium conduction, leading to impaired action potential propagation and atrioventricular conduction, delayed intramyocardial conduction, increased ventricular refractoriness, and ventricular tachycardia with characteristics of reentrant excitation
|
• prolonged PR interval, however QT interval is unchanged
|
• peak current densities of myocytes are reduced, indicating reduced sodium channel density
