Electrophysiological Properties of the Heart • Excitability – Ability of the heart to respond to a stimulus • Rhythmicity (Automaticity) – Ability of the heart to initiate a depolarization in the absence of external stimuli • Conductivity – Ability of the heart to propagate an impulse once it has been initiated
Other terms… • Chronotropy – Relates to heart rate: a positive chronotropic agent will increase heart rate; a negative chronotropic agent will decrease heart rate • Dromotropy – Relates to conduction velocity: a positive dromotropic agent will increase the conduction velocity of an impulse through the heart; a negative dromotropic agent will slow the conduction velocity of the impulse
Effect of Adrenergic and Cholinergic Stimulation Tissue Beta-Adrenergic Cholinergic SA node ↑ Pacemaker rate ↑ Conduction Velocity ↓ Pacemaker rate ↓ Conduction velocity AV node ↑ Pacemaker rate↑ Conduction Velocity ↓ Pacemaker rate ↓ Conduction velocity Purkinje fibers ↑ Pacemaker rate ↓ Pacemaker rate
Excitability
Factors Affecting Resting Membrane Potential in Cardiac Myocytes • Macromolecules • Diffusible ions (Na+, K+, Ca++, Cl-) – Electrochemical gradients • Sodium-Potassium ATPase pump
Major Cardiac Membrane Currents Current Name Ion that is carried Reversal Potential (m. V) Inhibitor INa Na+ Current Na+ +60 TTX Lidocaine ICa Ca++ current Ca++ +120 Nifedipine Verapamil IK IKR, IKS, Ito, G -protein K+ -100 Ba++ Cs+ TEA
Membrane Currents for the Various Phases of the Ventricular Myocyte Action Potential • Phase 0 (Rapid Upstroke) – INa and ICa • Phase 1 (Early Repolarization) – Inactivation of INa and ICa, and IK (minor contribution) • Phase 2 (Plateau) – Continued entry of Na and Ca through major channels and minor membrane current due to Na-Ca exchanger • Phase 3 (Repolarization) – IK • Phase 4 (Diastolic period) – IK and Na-K pump
Refractory Periods
Refractory Periods • Absolute Refractory Period – Beginning of phase 0 to the beginning of phase 3 – Refractory to all stimuli • Relative Refractory Period – Beginning of phase 3 to the beginning of phase 4 – A stronger than normal stimulus will result in an AP that is less than a normal AP
