摘要: Arrhythmogenic Vagal Effects in Dog Atria. introduction: Prior studies isolated canine atria demonstrated that acetylcholine-induced reentrant atrial fibrillation (AF) was triggered by multifocal activity the area of normal impulse origin (sinus node-crista terminalis). The aim this study to investigate activation sequence AF induced vagal stimulation (VS) intact dog hearts. Methods and Results: VS (10 50 Hz, 1 msec, 15 V, 5-sec trains) single or multiple premature depolarizations (APDs), and/or 8 10 open chest dogs. Occurrence APDs increased with increasing intensity. Epicardial mapping (254 unipolar electrodes) both showed as a rule emerged from ectopic sites, often right appendage. Activation first cycles only small number (<3 4) unstable circuits were possible at same moment. Moreover, most sustained VS-induced AFs accounted for leading stable circuit activated remainder atria. Conclusion: (1) vagally increases frequency VS. (2) focal are widely distributed over atria. (3) A APD can be sufficient initiation AF. (4) Despite its high rate AF, it may maintained circuit. (5) septum play an important role maintenance
