A 04-year-old boy was referred to our institution with severe, progressive heart failure of 4-months duration associated with a persistent wide QRS tachycardia with left bundle branch block and severe left ventricular dysfunction. Because of incessant wide QRS tachycardia refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs, he was referred for electrophysiological study. The ECG was suggestive of VT arising from the right ventricle near the His area. Electrophysiological study revealed that origin of tachycardia was septum of the right ventricle, near His bundle, however the procedure was not successful and an inadvertent complete atrioventricular conduction block occurred. The same ventricular tachycardia recurred. A second procedure was performed with a retrograd aortic approach to map the left side of the interventricular septum. The earliest endocardial site for ablation was localized in the anterobasal region of left ventricle near His bundle. In this location, one radiofrequency pulse interrupted VT and rendered it not inducible. The echocardiographic evaluation showed partial reversal of left ventricular function in the first 3 months. The diagnosis was idiopathic parahisian left ventricular tachycardia leading to a tachycardia mediated cardiomyopathy, an extremely rare clinical picture in children.  相似文献

Previous histological studies showed that in addition to a sinus node, an atrioventricular (AV) node, an AV bundle, left and right bundle branches, birds also possess a right AV‐Purkinje ring that is located in the atrial sheet of the right muscular AV‐valve along all its base length. The functionality of the AV‐Purkinje ring is unknown. In this work, we studied the topology of pacemaker myocytes in the atrial side of the isolated chicken spontaneously contracting right muscular AV‐valve using the method of microelectrode mapping of action potentials. We show that AV‐cells having the ability to show pacemaking reside in the right muscular AV‐valve. Pacemaker action potentials were exclusively recorded close to the base of the valve along its whole length from dorsal to the ventral attachment to the interventricular septum. These action potentials have much slower rate of depolarization, lower amplitude, and higher diastolic depolarization than action potentials of Purkinje (conducting) cells. We conclude the right AV‐valve has a ring bundle of pacemaker cells (but not Purkinje cells) in the adult chicken heart. J. Morphol. 277:363–369, 2016. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.  相似文献

Ventricular activation of the mouse heart differs significantly compared to activation in larger mammals. Knowledge of structural and functional characteristics of laboratory animals is essential for evaluation of results obtained from experiments. The present study was performed to evaluate whether the different pattern of activation is common to small rodents or unique for mice. Hearts of adult Wistar rats were isolated and Langendorff perfused. After removing the right and left ventricular free wall, extracellular activity of the septum and bundle branches (BB) was determined using a multi-terminal electrode harboring 247 terminals. Immunolabeling on cryosections was performed to assess expression and distribution of the gap junction proteins Connexin40 (Cx40), Cx43, Cx45, contractile (Desmin, alpha-actinin) and intercalated disk-related (N-cadherin, beta-catenin) proteins. Collagen distribution was assessed by Sirius Red staining. Reconstruction of the left and right bundle branch (LBB and RBB) using immuno-labeling revealed that the LBB spreads all over the septal surface. The RBB too is broad, albeit to a lesser extend than LBB. A sheet of connective tissue electrically separates the common bundle and proximal BB from the septal working myocardium. Immunolabeling revealed clear differences between the conduction system and the working myocardium with respect to expression level and distribution of the different proteins analyzed. The morphological organization of the area resulted in an electrical activation pattern of the septum comparable to what is common in larger mammals: earliest activation at the midseptum via the bundle branches. From our data we conclude that the pattern of ventricular activation in the rat heart and the structure of the conduction system fit to data described for larger mammals and differ from the different pattern previously found in mouse heart.  相似文献

The development of the atrioventricular conduction system in the mouse heart has been studied by light and electron microscopy from the time of the completion of ventricular septation to fetal stage II, 13–16 days postcoitum. At the beginning of this period the already established atrioventricular node (AVN) enlarges rapidly into the dorsal AV cushion from the primitive AV tract, reaching almost its full fetal size when septation is complete. The development of the atrionodal interconnections is a slow and complex process. The dorsal atrial myocardium develops on both sides of the node, establishing a muscular overlay over its proximal aspect, and also incorporating the former AV tract. At this time also, the developing muscular interatrial septum grows downward to establish contact with the node, the sinus venosus, and the myocardium of the right and left atrial walls. The distally proceeding differentiation of the ab initio continuous conduction pathway along the AVN, His bundle, and bundle branches demonstrates a progressive and sequential development of high cellular glycogen content. Progressive isolation of the atrioventricular conduction system leading to (still incomplete) insulation by connective tissue, has been observed.  相似文献

Comparison of postmortem performed experimental cardiac ruptures with post-infarction lesions reveals uniformity of their localization. The ruptures are found to occur at places of a sharp change in the relief of the cardiac internal surface. These areas should be considered as concentrators of strain, promoting cardiac ruptures. In the left ventricle six concentrators of strain are revealed. They are: the place where the anterior part of the interventricular septum passes into the anterior wall of the left ventricle, the right edge of the papillary muscle, the left edge of the anterior papillary muscle, the left edge of the posterior papillary muscle, the right edge of the posterior papillary muscle, the place where the posterior part of the interventricular septum passes into the posterior wall of the left ventricle. Frequency of the experimental ruptures of the interventricular septum, under loading of the left ventricle, is demonstrated to depend on pressure in the right cardiac part.  相似文献

The conducting pathway of the ferret's myocardium and endocardium was studied under the electron and scanning microscope. Comparisons between the two methods showed that the scanning microscope is well suited for those dimensional demonstration of biological material. Contrary to a relative absence of interspecific differences in endocardial morphology, there is a strong variation of this morphology related to the intracardiac localization of the endocardial cells. The following findings were obtained. S.e. microscopically, it was observed that the endocardium of the sino-atrial node region is not smooth, and that, more likely, it shows rough surfaced profiles. The electron microscopic study shows that the cells of the S-A node are elongated. The S-A node is located at the junction of the superior vena cava with the right atrial wall. It consists of nodal fibres which are embedded in a richinterstitial connective tissue (Figs 1-8). The Purkinje fibres originate from large bundles in the region of the right and left atrioventricular valve in the area where heart muscle fibres were originally described by Purkinje (Purkinje, 1845); these fibres, meanwhile, have become synonymous with cells of the generalized conducting system. The Purkinje fibres consist of a poorly developed contractile apparatus and contain unorganized, fine, filamentous material (Illustration 1). The SR is poorly developed, transverse tubules are absent. S.e. microscopically, one can visualize the trabecular system and the sinusoids. The trabeculae obtain muscle fibres rich in contractile material and transverse tubules. The trabeculae appear to be tendonous (chordae tendineae), especially when they freely traverse the ventricular cavity (Fig. 16). The interventricular septum (the muscle fibres from this region) takes its origin from large bundles in the region of the right and left atrioventricular valves. The endocardium of the interventricular septum is filled with large numbers of plasma-lemma folds (Figs 17, 18). The endocardium which covers the papillary muscle has a thickness of 0.5 micron. The endocardial cells lie on the myocardium so close and so thin that the surface relief and part of the atriation of the myocardium are visible (Figs 13-15).  相似文献

Fascicular ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an idiopathic VT with right bundle branch block morphology and left-axis deviation occuring predominantly in young males. Fascicular tachycardia has been classified into three subtypes namely, left posterior fascicular VT, left anterior fascicular VT and upper septal fascicular VT. The mechanism of this tachycardia is believed to be localized reentry close to the fascicle of the left bundle branch. The reentrant circuit is composed of a verapamil sensitive zone, activated antegradely during tachycardia and the fast conduction Purkinje fibers activated retrogradely during tachycardia recorded as the pre Purkinje and the Purkinje potentials respectively. Catheter ablation is the preferred choice of therapy in patients with fascicular VT. Ablation is carried out during tachycardia, using conventional mapping techniques in majority of the patients, while three dimensional mapping and sinus rhythm ablation is reserved for patients with nonmappable tachycardia.  相似文献

Major components of the cardiac conduction system including the sinoatrial node (SAN), atrioventricular node (AVN), the His Bundle, and the right and left bundle branches are too small to be directly visualized by multidetector CT (MDCT) given the limited spatial resolution of current scanners. However, the related anatomic landmarks and variants of this system a well as the areas with special interest to electrophysiologists can be reliably demonstrated by MDCT. Some of these structures and landmarks include the right SAN artery, right atrial cavotricuspid isthmus, Koch triangle, AVN artery, interatrial muscle bundles, and pulmonary veins. In addition, MDCT has an imperative role in demarcating potential arrhythmogenic structures. The aim of this review will be to assess the extent at which MDCT can outline the described anatomic landmarks and therefore provide crucial information used in clinical practice.  相似文献

In the adult heart, cardiac muscle comprises the working myocardium and the conduction system (CS). The latter includes the sinoatrial node (SAN), the internodal tract or bundle (IB), the atrioventricular node (AVN), the atrioventricular bundle (AVB), the bundle branches (BB) and the peripheral Purkinje fibers (PF). Most of the information concerning the phenotypic features of CS tissue derives from the characterization of avian and rodent developing hearts; data concerning the expression of actin isoforms in adult CS cardiomyocytes are scarce. Using specific antibodies, we investigated the distribution of α-skeletal (α-SKA), α-cardiac (α-CA), α-smooth muscle (α-SMA) actin isoforms and other muscle-typical proteins in the CS of human and rat hearts at different ages. SAN and IB cardiomyocytes were characterized by the presence of α-SMA, α-CA, calponin and caldesmon, whereas α-SKA and vimentin were absent. Double immunofluorescence demonstrated the co-localisation of α-SMA and α-CA in I-bands of SAN cardiomyocytes. AVN, AVB, BB and PF cardiomyocytes were α-SMA, calponin, caldesmon and vimentin negative, and α-CA and α-SKA positive. No substantial differences in actin isoform distribution were observed in human and rat hearts, except for the presence of isolated subendocardial α-SMA positive cardiomyocytes co-expressing α-CA in the ventricular septum of the rat. Aging did not influence CS cardiomyocyte actin isoform expression profile. These findings support the concept that cardiomyocytes of SAN retain the phenotype of a developing myogenic cell throughout the entire life span.  相似文献

A systemic quantitative electron microscopic analysis on innervation of the sinus node, the atrioventricular node, the bundle of His and its pedicles within the interventricular septum has been performed in intact hearts of mature rats. The data have been obtained on the size of nonmyelinated and myelinated nerve fibres, efferent and afferent terminals within different parts of the cardiac conductive system, their interconnection with specialized cardiomyocytes have been described. Application of certain methods for electron microscopic investigation on the innervation of mammalian cardiac conductive system has been discussed.  相似文献

Chronic focal and diffuse myocarditis with interstitial fibrosis developed in Swiss outbred mice and in the inbred AKR and A/J strains of mice which were chronically infected with several Trypanosoma cruzi strains belonging to three biological types (Type I, II and III). High incidence of electrocardiographic changes with predominance of intraventricular conduction disturbances, 1st. and 2nd. degree AV block, arrhythmias, comparable with those found in human Chagas' disease, were also present. Morphological study of the conduction tissue of the heart revealed inflammatory and fibrotic changes. The presence of inflammation in the inter-atrial septum almost always coincided with the inflammatory involvement of the ventricular conduction system. Focal inflammation was associated with vacuolization and focal necrosis of the specific fibers. Most of the lesions were seen affecting the His bundle (76.3% of the cases), the right bundle branch (73.3%), AV node (43.9%) and left bundle branch (37.5%). Correlation between morphological changes in the conduction tissue and electrocardiographic alteration occurred in 53.0 to 62.5% of the cases, according to the experimental groups.  相似文献

Molecular mechanisms for the dorso-ventral patterning and interventricular septum formation in the embryonic heart are unknown. To investigate a role of Hand1/eHAND in cardiac chamber formation, we generated Hand1/eHAND knock-in mice where Hand1/eHAND cDNA was placed under the control of the MLC2V promoter. In Hand1/eHAND knock-in mice, the outer curvature of the right and left ventricles expanded more markedly. Moreover, there was no interventricular groove or septum formation, although molecularly, Hand1/eHAND knock-in hearts had two ventricles. However, the morphology of the inner curvature of the ventricles, the atrioventricular canal, and the outflow tract was not affected by Hand1/eHAND expression. Furthermore, expression of Hand1/eHAND in the whole ventricles altered the expression patterns of Chisel, ANF, and Hand2/dHAND but did not affect Tbx5 expression. In contrast, the interventricular septum formed normally in transgenic embryos overexpressing Hand1/eHAND in the right ventricle but not in the boundary region. These results suggested that Hand1/eHAND is involved in expansion of the ventricular walls and that absence of Hand1/eHAND expression in the boundary region between the right and left ventricles may be critical in the proper formation of the interventricular groove and septum. Furthermore, Hand1/eHAND is not a master regulatory gene that specifies the left ventricle myocyte lineage but may control the dorso-ventral patterning in concert with additional genes.  相似文献

A case is described in which a septal artery originating from the first artery contributed to the vascular supply of the atrio-ventricular bundle, its right branch, the moderator band and the anterior papillary muscle of the right ventricle. Postmortem coronary angiograms and microdissection were use to determine the course of the arteries. The different patterns of origin of the anterior septal arteries were reviewed, and the role of these arteries as an anastomotic route in situations of proximal stenosis of the anterior interventricular artery is discussed.  相似文献

The pattern recognition procedure of discriminant analysis has been used to characterize the trace metal profiles created by the concentrations of 8 trace metals in 15 anatomic sites of beef heart tissue. Metals analyzed were copper, tin, lead, molybdenum, strontium, cesium, barium, and aluminum. Anatomic sites sampled included main pulmonary artery, aorta, mitral and tricuspid valves, left and right coronary arteries, os cordis, right atrium, left atrial appendage, crista supraventricularis, left bundle branch, free wall of the right and left ventricles, interventricular septum, and papillary muscle of the left ventricle. The striking features of the data were: (1) All specimens of the mitral valve, tricuspid valve, and os cordis were ambiguously described by their trace metal profiles; (2) the four blood vessels constituted two groups of two tissues each (aorta, main pulmonary artery; left and right coronary arteries); (3) tissues derived from ordinary and specialized myocardium were quite different from blood vessels, heart valves and os cordis. Using these profiles, 85% of the specimens analyzed were correctly classified by discriminant analysis with respect to their anatomic origin.  相似文献

The development of the atrioventricular node and bundle of His of embryonic chick hearts was studied by electrophysiological and morphological techniques. The dorsal wall of the AV canal and the interatrial septum were explored to determine if they contribute to the formation of the AV node and bundle of His. The resting membrane and action potentials of the interatrial septum cells were systematically analyzed and found to undergo progressive differentiation with development. The earliest identification of the AV node and upper bundle of His group of cells was achieved at 5 1/2-6 days of development by the electrical recording of their corresponding characteristic action potentials, from a circumscribed area located in the lowest and dorsal segment of the interatrial septum. The morphological and anatomical characterization of the cells was made following electrical recording and labelling with charcoal particles. The earlier AV node and bundle of His responses had similar characteristics to those of the adult heart. It is concluded that the AV node and upper bundle of His cells derive from the low interatrial septum. The possibility that AV canal cells contribute to this event was discarded. The functional relationship of the Av node and bundle of His with other cardiac tissues during the early development of the heart is discussed.  相似文献

The echocardiographic research of the left ventricular has revealed heterogeneity of thickness of the posterior wall and interventricular septum in three parallel planes in the transverse direction of the left ventricle in calves. The amplitude of systolic motion of the left ventricle posterior wall is larger than that of the interventricular septum at the level of the mitral valve, at the level of the papillary muscles, and at the apical level. The excursion of left ventricular walls in the basal level is twice as large as the mobility of ventricular walls in the apical level. During the contraction of the myocardium, the shortness of the left ventricular transversal diameter is to great extent determined by the degree of contraction of the left ventricular wall rather than of the interventricular septum. The high contractility is revealed in calves.  相似文献
