On the effect of preceding atrial- atrial and His-atrial intervals on the atrioventricular nodal conduction time in rabbit heart. 1979

T Mazgalev, and V Pavlov

The study of conduction in the atrioventricular node is often associated with two characteristic time intervals. The first of these intervals reflects the time between two successive atrial excitatory complexes. The second interval reflects the time from the moment of the appearance of the excitation at the output of the atrioventricular node to the next atrial complex. In different publications the value of the conduction time is associated predominantly either with one (atrial-atrial) or with the other (His-atrial) preceding intervals. The present paper makes an attempt at comparative estimation of the effect of preceding atrial-atrial and His-atrial intervals on current conduction time. The experiments are carried out on rabbit heart preparation, using micro- and macroelectrode technique. Stimulation programmes guaranteeing the imposition of rhythm with fixed atrial-atrial and His-atrial intervals are used. It is concluded that there is no strictly determined connection between the value of any of the above intervals and atrioventricular conduction time.

D011817	Rabbits	A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D002036	Bundle of His	Small band of specialized CARDIAC MUSCLE fibers that originates in the ATRIOVENTRICULAR NODE and extends into the membranous part of the interventricular septum. The bundle of His, consisting of the left and the right bundle branches, conducts the electrical impulses to the HEART VENTRICLES in generation of MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION.

D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001283	Atrioventricular Node	A small nodular mass of specialized muscle fibers located in the interatrial septum near the opening of the coronary sinus. It gives rise to the atrioventricular bundle of the conduction system of the heart.
