cardiovascular system
• mice show ECG anomalies indicative of decreased heart rate
|
• 23% of 4-6 week old mice exhibit a Wenckebach phenomenon, suggesting an intranodal conduction defect
|
• prolonged AH interval, with a normal HV interval, leading to a non conducted A wave, indicating atrioventricular block originating from an intranodal conduction defect and not a His-bundle conduction defect
|
• prolonged AH interval, with a normal HV interval, leading to a non conducted A wave, indicating AV block originating from an intranodal conduction defect
• ECG shows prolonged action potential duration and reduced outward K+ current
|
• QT interval is longer than in wild-type mice or in transgenic lines H08 or H05
• however, QRS duration is normal
|
• the rapid component of the T wave is drastically prolonged
|
• sinus node dysfunction as indicated by a longer intrinsic sinus period under autonomic nervous blockade and an increase in minimum sinus period under isoproterenol infusion
|
• the P wave often superposes on the terminal phase of the previous T wave due to QT and PR lengthening
|
• longer P wave duration than wild-type mice or transgenic lines H08 and H05
