cardiovascular system
• cardiac sodium channel remodeling/upregulation that occurs before the onset of cardiac hypertrophy
|
• cardiac hypertrophy, including increases in myocardial cross-section, with no differences in cell proliferation is seen at E18.5, but not at E14.5
|
• sodium current recordings show that peak current densities are 30-40% higher in ventricular myocytes, a 30-40% higher conductance, and slower recovery time from inactivation
• while wild-type ventricles have a predominately left-right activation pattern (94%) at E18.5, mutant hearts maintain a left ventricular activation pattern (84%), indicating abnormal ventricular activation pattern during development
• under spontaneous rhythm, mice show an increase in total left ventricular activation time at E18.5 and in adults, but not at E14.5, indicating a delay in the transmission of the electrical impulse
• however, under stimulated contraction, no differences in left ventricular activation time at any age are seen, indicating that electrical impulse transmission through the working myocardium is not altered
|
• sodium current recordings from ventricular myocytes show a 30-40% higher conductance
|
• QT interval prolongation, although to a lesser extent than in transgenic lines H08 or H02
(J:132483)
|
• the rapid component of the T wave is slightly 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, although to a lesser extent than in transgenic lines H08 or H02
|
• longer P wave duration than in wild-type mice, although to a lesser extent than in transgenic lines H08 or H02
• however, PR interval duration is similar to wild-type mice
|
mortality/aging
• lower survival rate at 1 year of age
|
• lower survival rate at 1 year of age
|
growth/size/body
• cardiac hypertrophy, including increases in myocardial cross-section, with no differences in cell proliferation is seen at E18.5, but not at E14.5
