Methods : In 84 AF patients(73 paroxysmal and 11 persistent AF, age 70.1 ± 10.0 years), the new wristwatch-type pulse wave monitoring device(test machine : HC-1, Seiko Epson)and the already-existing Holter monitoring device(SEER-light, GE healthcare)were simultaneously used to record the pulse and electrocardiogram, respectively, for 24 hours. Both of the recordings were separated by 30-min intervals for AF detection(≥ 30-min persisting AF was counted). AF burden was compared between the two devices. Results : Among 84 patients, AF was detected in 29 patients by HC-1. Using the Holter monitoring device(AF was detected in 28 patients)as the gold standard, the sensitivity and the specificity of the pulse wave device for detecting AF were 92.8% and 94.6% , respectively. Among 3660 sections, AF was detected in 682 sections by HC-1. Using the Holter monitoring device(AF was detected in 724 sections)as the gold standard, the sensitivity and specificity of HC-1 were 92.0% and 99.5% , respectively. The correlation of AF burden between HC-1 and the Holter monitoring device was 0.799. Conclusion : The wristwatch-type pulse wave monitoring device, HC-1, could be worn for a long period of time and could continuously judge the irregularity of pulses which were specific to AF. In that sense, it would be a useful tool to improve the diagnosis of asymptomatic AF.","PeriodicalId":14543,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Electrocardiology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90613626","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, molecular characteristics of the arrhythmogenicity unique to PV myocytes is still unclear. We have investigated the molecular mechanism of catecholamine-induced arrhythmia using both electrophysiology and molecular biology with isolated PV cardiomyocytes of rats. In this paper, I mainly discuss cross-talk among a cluster of Ca 2+ -releasing channels on the sarcoplasmic reticulum and Na + -Ca 2+ exchanger on T-tubule(Ca 2+ releasing-NCX coupling), a hyperpolarization activated Cl - current originated in ClC-2/HSPA8 complex, and influence of the adenylate cyclase.","PeriodicalId":14543,"journal":{"name":"Japanese Journal of Electrocardiology","volume":"87 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86054228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
