The rapid sodium current responsible for the spike of the action potential and the slow calcium or calcium and sodium inward current responsible for the plateau are governed by activation and inactivation variables, but the range of potential in which the corresponding conductances \"open\" or \"close\" differs markedly. For that reason, partially depolarized fibers exhibit slow action potentials deprived of a rapid ascending phase. The normal sinoatrial and atrioventricular node action potentials are of this type. Several components of of outward (repolarizing) currents, mainly carried by potassium ions (although anions may also carry repolarizing currents), exist, some of them being controlled by intracellular calcium. Repolarization is a much more labile process in Purkinje fibers than in myocardium. Recovery from inactivation of rapid and slow inward currents is important in controlling the shape of the action potential as a function of the previous diastole.</p>","PeriodicalId":21025,"journal":{"name":"Recent advances in studies on cardiac structure and metabolism","volume":"11 ","pages":"11-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"11989254","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}

The concentrations of ATP and phosphorylcreatine (PC) were decreased in the adriamycin-treated cells, but the addition of creatine resulted in a several-fold increase of PC.

The present study was designed to assess the importance of free fatty acids (FFA) in these lipids using FFA or sucrose tracers in 14 anesthetized fasting open-chest mongrel dogs. Endogenous FFA and labeled tracers were measured in arterial and coronary sinus plasma; they were also determined in lymph collected from cardiac efferent lymphatic trunks. [14C] sucrose was infused at a constant rate in the femoral vein of 5 dogs. The concentration of the tracer in the lymph was 90% of the arterial concentration after 60 min of infusion. On the other hand, when [1-14C] palmitate was infused at the same rate in 7 dogs, the ratio of lymph to arterial tracer concentration was only 20% (60 min) and 25% (120 min), even though the myocardial extraction and oxidation of the tracer were stable. This ratio tended to reach a plateau (greater than or equal to 90%) only 24 hr after a bolus injection of the tracer.

Under conditions in which about 65% of the single-isolated myocardial cells showed arrhythmias, cell clusters as a whole showed irregular beating. The cell clusters stopped beating under conditions in which about 79% of the single-isolated myocardial cells showed arrhythmias.
