  3. Effect of Acute Ischemia on Na+ Dynamics Modulation of fast Na channels by the ischemic metabolite and free radicals leading to partial inhibition of Na+ upslope Low amplitude action potential

  4. Normal myocardium Transmural ischemic area Low amplitude action potential and current of injury Gradient Infarct LV cavity ECG

  5. Current of injury can depolarize subendocardial surviving Purkinje fibers Enhanced automaticity  PVCs and VT Infarct Purkinje Ventricular cavity Gets some O2 from V cavity and survive de Diego, C. et al. Circulation 2008;118:2330-2337

  6. AP amplitude during ischemia and reperfusion de Diego, C. et al. Circulation 2008;118:2330-2337

  7. Slow upslope of fast Na+ current Lysophosphatidylecholine (LPC) is an ischemic metabolite that has special affinity to Na+ channels, and free radicals Slow Na+ influx during phase 0

  8. Na+ Cell memb Free radicals LPC Na+ Cell memb Slow opening of Na+ channels  Slow conduction

  9. Normal Action Potential Propagation Na+ Normal myocardial conduction

  10. Slow upslope of phase 0 Na+ Slow conduction of the ischemic myocardium

  11. Reopening of Na+ channels after closure Lysophosphatidylecholine (LPC) causes reopening of Na+ channels after initial closure leading to afterdepolarizations EAD  PVCs, NSVT, VT Prolongation of ERP

  15. _ + Voltage gated Na channels Voltage gated K channels L-Ca channels Effect of Acute Ischemia on K+ Dynamics Ca++ 2 Extracellular K+ 0 Increased extracellular K+ due Inhibition of Na+/K+ ATPase activity, internalization of Na+/K+ pumps and increased cellular permeability to K+ Increased activity of voltage gated K+ channels  rapid K+ efflux during phase 3 3 Ca++ K+ Na+ K+ Short action potential duration

  16. Decrease in APD during ischemia

  17. Effect of Acute Ischemia on Ca++ Dynamics Reduced Ca sequestration by SR Reversed Na-Ca exchange due to Na+ load Ca++ release from damaged SR Ca++ load, DADs

  18. Ca++ load during ischemia Ca++ load

  19. AP changes during acute ischemia

  20. Non specific cation channels Funny channels Ischemia  mechanical dysfunction  increased diastolic pressure  stretch Stretch stimulates NSC channels in myocardium and funny channels in Purkije cells  Na+ and Ca++ influx Enhanced automaticity of Purkinje cells Triggered activity of myocardium

  21. Ca++ If NSC ch HCN NSC and Funny channels activation due to diastolic stretch during ischemia Na+

  22. Automatic and triggered activity is more common in border zone, subendocardium (Purkinje) and reperfused zone Ischemic zone

  23. Gap Junction inhibition during ischemis Gap junctions are dynamic structures because connexons are able to open and close. Elevated intracellular calcium and low intracellular pH are established stimuli for rapid closing of connexons Gap junction inactivation: Cx43,45 (His-Purkinje specific) mutation: conduction deley Cx40 (atrial specific) mutation: causes atrial standstill

  24. Inactivated (dephosphorylated) gap junctions detected by immunofluorescence during ischemia with delayed recovery during reperfusion This accounts for the delayed recovery of CV after recovery of Na current and APD Beardslee MA, et al. Circ Res. 2000; 87: 656–662 de Diego, C. et al. Circulation 2008;118:2330-2337

  25. Normal Action Potential Propagation Na+ Normal Myocardium

  26. Gap junction inactivation during ischemia Na+ Ischemic myocardium (Slow conduction)

  27. Decrease in conduction velocity Ischemic zone is inexcitable after 5 min Recovery after reperfusion is delayed

  29. EP changes that favor reentry Prolongation of ERP in the central zone due to reopening of Na channels Shortening of ERP in the borderzone (rapid recovery of Na channel function) Decrease in conduction velocity then loss of excitability in the central zone Heterogeneity between epicardium and endocardium (less EP changes in endocardium due to cavitary blood supply) Carmeliet E.

  33. EP changes that favor ventricular arrhythmias during reperfusion Increased Na+ load due to activation of Na+/H+ exchange (requiring ATP) to remove accumulated intracellular H+ Increased Ca++ load due to increased Na+/Ca++ exchange following increased intracellular Na+ EADs and DADs Early recovery of Na+ channels than gap junctions  short ERP and persistent slow conduction  reentry Carmeliet E.
