We studied two novel mutations (G1481V and Q1491H) found in infants who suffered sudden cardiac death. Using computational modeling, we incorporated experimental data into a Na<sup>+</sup> Markovian model and simulated effects in rabbit cardiac cells. Both mutations caused tissue-specific effects, with Purkinje cells showing more severe action potential prolongation than myocardial cells. At slow heart rates, these mutations triggered early afterdepolarizations (EADs) and delayed afterdepolarizations (DADs) exclusively in Purkinje cells, with Q1491H displaying greater arrhythmogenic potential which was absent in myocardial cells. Enhanced late sodium current underlies these effects, especially in Purkinje cells with fewer repolarization reserves. Our findings suggest targeted therapies: late Na<sup>+</sup> current blockers or Purkinje fiber ablation for patients with these mutations.</p>","PeriodicalId":72238,"journal":{"name":"Annual Modeling and Simulation Conference (ANNSIM).

However, the impact of the impedance properties of the torso on mapping the rotors and their filaments remains unclear. This study aims to conceptually demonstrate how those impedance properties affect the distribution of voltages resulting from rotors in simulations on a torso model segmented from a chest axial CT. Torso compartments were assigned conductivity and capacitance values, and two counter-rotating myocardial rotors were modeled as two dipoles with counter-phase cosine potential waves. Quasi-electrostatic and impedance formalisms were solved using finite element methods to simulate torso voltage and phase distributions. Results revealed that rotor filaments did not reach the surface in the quasi-electrostatic simulations, with the impedance formalism, rotor filaments appeared on the body surface in both potential and phase maps. These computational simulations demonstrate that impedance properties can be relevant for detecting cardiac rotors.</p>","PeriodicalId":72238,"journal":{"name":"Annual Modeling and Simulation Conference (ANNSIM).

However, the exact involvement of the His-Purkinje System (HPS) remains elusive. We utilized a finite element model of the rabbit ventricles integrated with a HPS to elucidate the role of HPS during LQT2-mediated arrhythmia. Following the induction of persistent reentry from an ectopic stimulus, we isolated the HPS at different time points. Moreover, we varied the coupling resistance and the number of myocytes at the Purkinje-Myocardial Junctions (PMJs) to ascertain how the junctional parameters altered reentry dynamics. Reentry was terminated with the earliest termination time for reentry coinciding with the earliest time the HPS was isolated. This observation provides evidence of direct involvement of the HPS during LQT2-mediated ventricular arrhythmia. Increasing the coupling resistance or the number of myocytes at the PMJs reduced the percentage of successful retrograde propagation during reentry. Thus, the HPS alters reentry dynamics. Our multi-scale computer modeling outcomes offer important new understandings of probable arrhythmia mechanisms under LQT2 circumstances.</p>","PeriodicalId":72238,"journal":{"name":"Annual Modeling and Simulation Conference (ANNSIM).
