cardiovascular system
• bradycardia at baseline
• however, mice exhibit normal fractional shortening and ejection fraction and show no gross structural alterations of the heart
|
• increasing the extracellular calcium concentration from 1.8 to 3.6 mM during adrenergic stress induces spontaneous long-lasting ventricular fibrillation
• however, hearts stimulated with isoproterenol do not show spontaneous arrhythmias under basal conditions and hearts stimulated with isoproterenol and administered caffeine fail to induce arrhythmias
|
• high variability in intracellular calcium transient decay in ventricular myocytes
• the maximum rise rate and amplitude of the evoked intracellular calcium transient are depressed in ventricular myocytes, resulting in a lower e-c coupling gain
• ventricular myocytes show random occurrence of early afterdepolarizations which appear as depolarized potentials and distort the action potential waveform
• intracellular calcium transients are altered, showing random occurrence of a sustained, low-amplitude phase of calcium release
• in isoproterenol-stimulated ventricular myocytes, peak of calcium release during systole is decreased, gradually overloading the sarcoplasmic reticulum with calcium
