چکیده انگلیسی
Dispersion of action potential repolarization is known to be an important arrhythmogenic factor in cardiopathies such as Brugada syndrome. In this work, we analyze the effect of a variation in sodium current (INa) inactivation and a heterogeneous rise of transient outward current (Ito) in the probability of reentry in epicardial tissue. We use the Luo-Rudy model of epicardial ventricular action potential to study wave propagation in a one-dimensional fiber. Spatial dispersion in repolarization is introduced by splitting the fiber into zones with different strength of Ito. We then analyze the pro-arrhythmic effect of a variation in the relaxation time and steady-state of the sodium channel fast inactivating gate h. We quantify the probability of reentry measuring the percentage of reexcitations that occurs in 200 beats. We find that, for high stimulation rates, this percentage is negligible, but increases notably for pacing periods above 700Â ms. Surprisingly, with decreasing INa inactivation time, the percentage of reexcitations does not grow monotonically, but presents vulnerable windows, separated by values of the INa inactivation speed-up where reexcitation does not occur. By increasing the strength of L-type calcium current ICaL above a certain threshold, reexcitation disappears. Finally, we show the formation of reentry in stimulated two-dimensional epicardial tissue with modified INa kinetics and Ito heterogeneity. Thus, we confirm that while Ito dispersion is necessary for phase-2 reentry, altered sodium inactivation kinetics influences the probability of reexcitation in a highly nonlinear fashion.
