Cellular basis for cardiac arrhythmias. 1983

R F Gilmour, and D P Zipes

The authors summarize current concepts of the cellular electrophysiologic basis for cardiac arrhythmias. The cellular mechanisms for abnormal formation and propagation of impulses and selected interactions between the two are reviewed. The clinical significance of these phenomena is also discussed.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D006329 Heart Conduction System An impulse-conducting system composed of modified cardiac muscle, having the power of spontaneous rhythmicity and conduction more highly developed than the rest of the heart.

D001145 Arrhythmias, Cardiac Any disturbances of the normal rhythmic beating of the heart or MYOCARDIAL CONTRACTION. Cardiac arrhythmias can be classified by the abnormalities in HEART RATE, disorders of electrical impulse generation, or impulse conduction.
