cardiovascular system
• intracardiac pacing shows that mice are susceptible to inducible arrhythmias
|
• optical mapping shows delays in activation and propagation of conduction, a trend of prolonged action potential duration, and decreased ventricular conduction velocity
• however, mice show no differences in ejection fraction, fractional shortening, or morphological differences, indicating that contractility is not affected
|
• pacing in hearts shows atrioventricular block
|
• variability in corrected QT interval
|
• in vivo intracardiac pacing on anesthetized mutants shows prolonged atrioventricular effective refractory period
