Cardiac Action Potential $68.51 The cardiac action potential is a specialized action potential in the heart, with unique properties necessary for function of the electrical conduction system of the heart. The cardiac action potential differs significantly in different portions of the heart. This differentiation of the action potentials allows the different electrical characteristics of the different portions of the heart. For instance, the specialized conduction tissue of the heart has the special property of depolarizing without any external influence. This is known as cardiac muscle automaticity. The electrical activity of the specialized conduction tissues are not apparent on the surface electrocardiogram. This is due to the relatively small mass of these tissues compared to the myocardium.

Conduction Band $70.1 In the solid state physics field of semiconductors and insulators, the conduction band is the range of electron energies, higher than that of the valence band, sufficient to free an electron from binding with its individual atom and allow it to move freely within the atomic lattice of the material. Electrons within the conduction band are mobile charge carriers in solids, responsible for conduction of electric currents in metals and other good electrical conductors.

Conduction (Heat) $68.51 In heat transfer, conduction is the transfer of thermal energy between neighboring molecules in a substance due to a temperature gradient. It always takes place from a region of higher temperature to a region of lower temperature, and acts to equalize temperature differences. Conduction takes place in all forms of matter, viz. solids, liquids, gases and plasmas, but does not require any bulk motion of matter. In solids, it is due to the combination of vibrations of the molecules in a lattice and the energy transport by free electrons. In gases and liquids, conduction is due to the collisions and diffusion of the molecules during their random motion. Heat can also be transferred by radiation and/or convection, and often more than one of these processes occur in a given situation.

Ballistic Conduction $73.28 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Ballistic conduction is the unimpeded flow of charge or energy carrying particles over relatively long distances in a material. Normally, transport of electrons is dominated by scattering events, which relax the carrier momentum in an effort to bring the conducting material to equilibrium. Thus, ballistic transport in a material is determined by how ballistically conductive that material is. Ballistic conduction differs from superconductivity due to the absence of the Meissner effect in the material. A ballistic conductor would stop conducting if the driving force is turned off, whereas in a superconductor current would continue to flow after the driving supply is disconnected.

Fluid Axial Conduction Effect $114.71 Stability analysis was performed for Secure Transportable Autonomous Reactor Liquid Metal (STARLM) fast reactor which included the effects of axial thermal conduction through lead bismuth eutectic (LBE) along its direction of flow. The results suggested that fluid axial heat conduction in natural circulation loop should be considered only when the modified Peclet number is in the order of one or below, which is significantly smaller than the practical value (100,000 in the specified loop) of liquid metal natural circulation systems. Therefore, it is appropriate to neglect fluid axial heat conduction effect in the thermal hydraulics analysis related to liquid metal natural circulation cooled nuclear reactors. However, at low heating power conditions, as in the case of reactor startup or long term cooling after shutdown, fluid axial thermal conduction could become important because of the slow coolant natural circulation. In those cases, the magnitude of the system Peclet number should be closely examined to validate the neglecting of fluid axial heat conduction in natural circulation analysis.

Relativistic Heat Conduction $81.25 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The theory of Relativistic Heat Conduction (RHC) claims to be the only model for heat conduction (and similar diffusion processes) that is compatible with the theory of special relativity, the second law of thermodynamics, electrodynamics, and quantum mechanics, simultaneously. The main features of RHC are:1. It admits a finite speed of heat propagation, and allows for relativistic effects when heat flux transients approach that speed. 2. It removes the possibility of paradoxical situations that may violate the second law of thermodynamics. 3. It, implicitly, admits the wave particle duality of the heat carrying phonon. These outcomes are achieved by (1) upgrading the Fourier equation of heat conduction to the form of a Telegraph equation of electrodynamics, and (2) introducing a new definition of the heat flux vector. Consequently, RHC gives rise to a number of interesting phenomena, such as thermal resonance and thermal shock waves, which are possible during high frequency pulsed laser heating of thermal insulators. The main appealing feature of the theory is its mathematical elegance and simplicity. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.

Electrical Conduction System of the Heart $73.28 The normal electrical conduction in the heart allows the impulse that is generated by the sinoatrial node (SA node) to be propagated to (and stimulate) the myocardium. The myocardium contracts after stimulation. It is the ordered stimulation of the myocardium that allows efficient contraction of the heart, thereby allowing blood to be pumped throughout the body.

Cardiac Muscle $78.07 Cardiac muscle is a type of involuntary striated muscle found in the walls of the heart, specifically the myocardium. Cardiac muscle cells are known as cardiac myocytes (or cardiomyocytes). Cardiac muscle is one of three major types of muscle, the others being skeletal and smooth muscle. The cells that comprise cardiac muscle are sometimes seen as intermediate between these two other types in terms of appearance, structure, metabolism, excitationcoupling and mechanism of contraction. Cardiac muscle shares similarities with skeletal muscle with regard to its striated appearance and contraction, with both differing significantly from smooth muscle cells. Coordinated contraction of cardiac muscle cells in the heart propel blood from the atria and ventricles to the blood vessels of the circulatory system. Cardiac muscle cells, like all tissues in the body, rely on an ample blood supply to deliver oxygen and nutrients and to remove waste products such as carbon dioxide. The coronary arteries fulfill this function.

Cardiac Cycle $58.94 Cardiac cycle is the term referring to all or any of the events related to the flow or blood pressure that occurs from the beginning of one heartbeat to the beginning of the next. The frequency of the cardiac cycle is the heart rate. Every single beat of the heart involves five major stages: First, Late diastole which is when the semilunar valves close, the Av valves open and the whole heart is relaxed. Second, Atrial systole when atria is contracting, AV valves open and blood flows from atrium to the ventricle. Third, Isovolumic ventricular contraction it is when the ventricles begin to contract, AV valves close, as well as the semilunar valves and there is no change in volume. Fourth, ventricular ejection, Ventricles are empty, they are still contracting and the semilunar valves are open. The fifth stage is: Isovolumic ventricular relaxation, Pressure decreases, no blood is entering the ventricles, ventricles stop contracting and begin to relax, semilunars are shut because blood in the aorta is pushing them shut. Throughout the cardiac cycle, the blood pressure increases and decreases Author: Miller, Frederic P./ Vandome, Agnes F./ McBrewster, John Binding Type: Paperback Number of Pages: 68 Publication Date: 2010/07/26 Language: English Dimensions: 5.98 x 9.01 x 0.16 inches |

Cardiac Arrhythmia $79.66 Cardiac arrhythmia is a term for any of a large and heterogeneous group of conditions in which there is abnormal electrical activity in the heart. The heart beat may be too fast or too slow, and may be regular or irregular. Some arrhythmias are lifethreatening medical emergencies that can result in cardiac arrest and sudden death. Others cause symptoms such as an abnormal awareness of heart beat and may be merely annoying. Still others may not be associated with any symptoms at all, but predispose toward potentially lifethreatening stroke or embolus. Some arrhythmias are very minor and can be regarded as normal variants. In fact, most people will sometimes feel their heart skip a beat, or give an occasional extra strong beat neither of these is usually a cause for alarm. The term sinus arrhythmia refers to a normal phenomenon of mild acceleration and slowing of the heart rate that occurs with breathing in and out. It is usually quite pronounced in children, and steadily decreases with age. This can also be present during meditation breathing exercises that involve deep inhaling and breath holding patterns.

Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology $635.66 Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology is intended for the clinical cardiologist who wishes to refresh or deepen his understanding of the cellular basis of cardiac electrophysiology, for researchers interested in the basis of the electrical activity of the heart, such as clinical investigators, physiologists or pharmacologists, for teachers in physiology, pharmacology and other biomedical studies, and for medical students from graduate to postgraduate level. Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology starts with a primer of basic electrophysiology, the cardiac action potential and the physiological basis of the electrocardiogram. Our second aim after having introduced the basic concepts was to continue with giving an overview of the properties of the most important ionic currents in the heart, and to treat their modulation, in order to deal with the mechanisms underlying cardiac ischaemia, arrhythmias and remodelling. Edward Carmeliet and Johan Vereecke, Katholieke University Leuven, Belgium, have collaborated for over 30 years in cardiac electrophysiology research. Their studies include the genesis of the normal action potential, its changes in ischaemia, the effect of drugs, and the mechanism of arrhythmias, using techniques from the classic potential registration with intracellular microelectrodes to whole cell clamp and single channel measurements.

Apoptosis in Cardiac Biology $556.01 Apoptosis or programmed cell death is increasingly considered to be a major factor in the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. In patients with heart failure the activation of apoptosis may result in the loss of irreplaceable cardiac myocytes promoting the clinical course of the syndrome. Moreover, in the coronary arteries inflammation and apoptosis may weaken critical structures of the vessel wall leading to plaque rupture and, subsequently, to myocardial infarction. Given these deleterious consequences, it seems almost paradoxical that programmed cell death is an active process that, if initiated under physiological circumstances, is essential for both coordinated tissue growth or destruction of malignant cells. Apoptosis in Cardiac Biology, written by a team of internationally renowned researchers, gives a timely synopsis of basic mechanisms, cellular and structural targets and, finally, clinical implications of programmed cell death in the heart. The expert authors of this volume give concise overviews on general and cellspecific aspects of programmed cell death in cardiac myocytes and fibroblasts, as well as in vascular smooth muscle and endothelial cells. Furthermore, novel therapeutic options arising from the outstanding pathophysiological significance of cardiac apoptosis are presented. This comprehensive review of Apoptosis in Cardiac Biology will be of interest to both clinicians and basic researchers who are active in the fields of cardiology and atherosclerosis.

The first part describes the differences between hypoxia and ischemia, animal models, the effects of ischemia on myocardial function and metabolism, and the electrophysiological consequences of ischemia. The second part deals with the mechanisms of cardiomyocyte death in ischemia, structural aspects of irreversible ischemic injury, necrosis and apoptosis of cardiac cells, the role of calcium, and the concept of calcium antagonism. The third chapter is a brief description of reperfusion injury, its clinical relevance, and possible prevention. The fourth part summarizes changes in myocardial vasculature during ischemia and reperfusion. The fifth part is the survey of two main possibilities for increasing cardiac resistance to ischemia and hypoxia, i.e. longlasting adaptation to chronic hypoxia and shortlasting preconditioning. The last part of the book deals with comparative and ontogenetic aspects of cardiac sensitivity to oxygen deprivation; this chapter also summarizes the ontogenetic differences and limitations in endogenous and exogenous protection of the ischemic/hypoxic heart.

The Cardiac LType Calcium Channel $149.76 Calcium (Ca2+) permeability in excitable cells was first documented over 35 years ago, shortly after the discovery that sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) ions moved across squid giant axon membranes in a voltagedependent fashion. This permeability was facilitated by membrane proteins of a distinct class called ion channels. Since then, much progress has been made in understanding the role of ion channels in transduction of voltage signals into cellular responses. However, characterization of Ca2+ channels has lagged behind their better understood counterparts, the Na+ and K+ channels. This is ironic since Ca2+ channels offer another level of interest due to the complexity of the permeant ion Ca2+, which unlike Na+ and K+ ions, can itself act as a second messenger once inside the cell. For example, voltagedependent Ca2+ channels of the long lasting, or Ltype, are found in many excitable cells and have been shown to control muscle contraction, metabolism, enzyme activity, hormone and neurotransmitter secretion, as well as gene expression. This book examines several physiological regulatory pathways controlling cardiac Ltype Ca2+ activity.

Cardiac Rehabilitation: Exercise $178.44 Despite medical intervention many patients with chronic illness remain functionally limited and psychologically distressed. As a result, many lose productive years of life and become frequent consumers of medical services. A notable increase in the number of people living with heart disease has stimulated the development of various approaches to rehabilitating these patients. With limited resources at our disposal it has been suggested that homebased rehabilitation may be useful, particularly where goal setting, exercise and cognitivebehavioural methods are employed. As most rehabilitation programmes tend to combine these methods it remains difficult to distinguish those aspects that provide benefit from those that do not. Within this context the author provides a wideranging and critical view of the evidence influencing the form and structure of modern cardiac rehabilitation. The book then reports a 2×2 factorial trial which was used to disassemble and evaluate the costeffectiveness and safety profile of a Selfhelp rehabilitation programme (The Angina Plan) to promote exercise and psychological adjustment in stable angina.

Atrial Fibrillation After Cardiac Surgery $444.48 Cardiac surgery is performed on hundreds of thousands of patients a year, and can have an important beneficial impact on the outcomes of patients with coronary and valvular heart diseases. Despite the favorable recovery of most patients, some will have their postoperative period interrupted by the development of atrial fibrillation, with a host of potential complications including stroke. High risk subgroups may develop atrial fibrillation in more than half of cases, and often despite aggressive prophylactic measures. Treatment of atrial fibrillation and its aftermath can also add days to the hospital stay of the cardiac surgical patient. In an era of aggressive cost cutting and optimization of utilization of health care resources, the financial impact of this arrhythmic complication may be enormous. Experimental studies have led to a greater understanding of the mechanism of atrial fibrillation and potential precipitating factors in the cardiac surgical patient. Prophylactic efforts with betablockers, antiarrhythmic drugs and atrial pacing are being used, or are being investigated in clinical trials. New methods of achieving prompt cardioversion with minimal disruption of patient care, and prevention of the thromboembolic complications of atrial fibrillation, are also important therapeutic initiatives. This text is designed to aid health care professionals in the treatment of their patients in the recovery period after cardiac surgery, and to instigate additional research efforts to limit the occurrence of, and the complications following, this tenacious postoperative arrhythmia.
