The pivot is critical to rotors postulated maintain atrial fibrillation (AF). We reasoned that wavefronts circling the should broaden amplitude distribution of bipolar electrograms because directional information encoded in these signals. aimed determine whether Shannon entropy (ShEn), a measure signal distribution, could differentiate from surrounding peripheral regions and thereby assist clinical rotor mapping.Bipolar electrogram recordings were studied 4 systems: (1) computer simulations...
Both ageing and hypertension are known risk factors for atrial fibrillation (AF) although the pathophysiological contribution or interaction of individual remains poorly understood. Here we aim to delineate arrhythmogenic substrate in mature spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).SHR were studied at 12 15 months age (n = 8 per group) together with equal numbers age-matched normotensive Wistar-Kyoto control (WKY). Electrophysiologic study was performed on superfused isolated right left...
Background The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between serum lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) concentration and requirement for peripheral artery disease (PAD) operations or incidence major adverse cardiovascular events. Methods Results A total 1472 people with PAD presenting intermittent claudication (n=355), abdominal aortic aneurysm (n=989) critical limb ischemia (n=128) were prospectively recruited from 4 outpatient clinics in Australia. Lp(a) measured samples collected at...
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a weakening and expansion of the abdominal aorta. Currently, there no drug treatment to limit AAA growth. The glycocalyx (GC) outermost layer cell surface, mainly composed glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) proteoglycans. aim this review was identify potential relationship between GC disruption pathogenesis. A narrative relevant published research conducted. has been reported enhance vascular permeability, impair immune responses, dysregulate endothelial function,...
Background and Aims. The nacht domain, leucine-rich repeat, pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome is upregulated in human abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), but its pathogenic role unclear. aims of this study were firstly to examine whether the was a mouse model AAA secondly test inhibitor colchicine limited growth. Methods. induced eight-week-old male C57BL6/J mice with topical application elastase infrarenal aorta oral 3-aminopropionitrile (E-BAPN). For aim one, activation,...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited cardiac disorder affecting one in 500 of the general population. Atrial fibrillation (AF) most common arrhythmia patients with HCM. We sought to characterize atrial electrophysiological and structural substrate young aging Gly203Ser troponin-I transgenic mice. At 30 weeks 50 age (n = 6 per strain each group), left atrium was excised placed on a multi-electrode array (MEA) for study; subsequent histological analyses plasma samples were...
