After adjusting for QRS duration, QRS morphology was no longer a determinant of the clinical response to CRT. In contrast to the mainstream view, we hypothesized that the unfavorable CRT outcome in patients with non-LBBB and a QRS duration of 120-150 ms is not due to the QRS morphology itself, but to less dyssynchrony and unfavorable patient characteristics in this subgroup, such as more ischemic etiology and greater prevalence of male patients compared with patients with LBBB pattern. Further, the current CRT technique is devised to eliminate the dyssynchrony present in patients with LBBB pattern and inappropriate to eliminate the dyssynchrony in patients with non-LBBB pattern. We also hypothesized that electrocardiography may also provide information about the presence of interventricular and left intraventricular dyssynchrony and the approximate location of the latest activated left ventricular (LV) region. To this end, we devised new ECG criteria to estimate interventricular and LV intraventricular dyssynchrony and the approximate location of the latest activated LV region. Our preliminary data demonstrated that the latest activated LV region in patients with nonspecific intraventricular conduction disturbance (NICD) pattern might be at a remote site from that present in patients with LBBB pattern, which might necessitate the invention of a novel CRT technique for patients with NICD pattern. The application of the new interventricular and LV intraventricular dyssynchrony ECG criteria and a potential novel CRT technique might decrease the currently high nonresponder rate in patients with NICD pattern.展开更多

Methods Electrophysiological properties of ventricular myocytes from 3- month (mo, young), 9-mo (adult-l) and 12-too (adult-2) in wild-type (WT) and CASQ2 KI mice were investigated with patch-clamp technique. Results The incidences of EADs and TA in CASQ2 KI cardiomyocytes increased with increasing age. In contrast, WT mice cardiomyocytes showed no significant change in matched-age groups. Compared with that in 3-mo CASQ2 KI mice, the 50% repolarization of action potential (APD50) showed prolongation in both 9-mo and 12-mo ones (9.2±0.9 ms of 9-mo and 10.3 ± 1.2 ms of 12- mo vs. 5.6± 0.3 ms of 3-mo), while the 90 % repolarization of action potential (APD90) was similar among 3 age groups. Compared with 3-mo mice, the 9-mo and 12-mo CASQ2 KI mice showed markedly reduced transient outward potassium current (Ito) densities but increased L-type calcium current (ICa-L) densities. Conlcusion This study suggested that events of EADs and TA in CASQ2 KI mice increased with increasing age, It might be associated partly with the augment of cellular calcium concentration and the prolongation of APD50 induced by decrease of Ito and increase of ICa-L in adult CASQ2 KI mice展开更多

Method: A total of forty healthy rabbits were selected and 8 were randomly chosen as normal control. The rest 32 rabbits were inducted acute myocardial ischemia (AMI) models by intravenous Pituitrin, then the AMI model rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, 8 as model group, and 8 as EA on Shenmen (HT 7) group, 8 as EA on Taixi (K/3) group, and 8 as EA on nonpoint group. BIOPAC collection system of biological signal was used to record the changes of CSNA and cardiac function, and the data was analyzed using a SKY-A8 disposal system. Result: The lefl ventricular systolic peak pressure (LVSP), maximum rate of rise of LVSP (+dp/dt max) descended obviously, and maximum rate of descent of LVSP (-dp/dt max) ascended after induction of AMI. The +dp/dt max, -dp/dt max and LVSP of EA on Shenmen (HT 7) group are significantly higher than the untreated AMI group, EA on Taixi (KI 3) group and EA on nonpoint group after EA. The frequency of cardiac sympathetic nerve activity increased significantly after induction of AMI, and then decreased sharply (compared with that of normal group, P〈0.05). Following EA, the cardiac sympathetic nerve activity of EA on Shenmen (HT 7) group are significantly higher than the model group, EA on Taixi (KI 3) group and EA on nonpoint group. And they have no significant difference with normal group. Conclusion: EA on Shenmen (HT 7) could improve the cardiac function and cardiac sympathetic nerve activity of rabbits with AMI, and promote the restoration of cardiac function. There is specificity in the effects of EA on different Yuan-Primary acupoints with the best effect on Shenmen (HT 7), and no effect on Taixi (KI 3) and nonpoint. EA on related acupoint can adjust the cardiac sympathetic nerve activity, and may moderate the effects of myocardial ischemia. The sympathetic nerve is one of the key periphery ways in using acupuncture against myocardial ischemia.展开更多
