Overview

May heighten arrhythmia risk via increased dispersion after common triggers; extends mechanistic insights in models but leaves clinical translation open.

Structured PICO

How do various physiological and pharmacological interventions affect the temporal dispersion of recovery of excitability in ventricular muscle?

P
Population
Exposed dog ventricles
I
Intervention
Various physiological and pharmacological interventions (early premature beat, sympathetic nerve stimulation, chloroform, ouabain, quinidine, myocardial ischemia, hypothermia, sympathomimetic amines)
C
Comparator
Basic beat / baseline conditions
O
Outcome
Temporal dispersion of recovery of excitabilitysurrogate

This preclinical study demonstrates that various arrhythmogenic factors increase the temporal dispersion of recovery of excitability in ventricular muscle, providing a mechanistic basis for vulnerability to arrhythmias.
