Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker cells parasympathetic

I thought if a human heart for example was beating in a lab using only its built in pacemaker, it would run at around 100 bpm? The vagus nerve is responsible for the parasympathetic system, which slows the heart down. So if cut, your heart should speed up?
Was it a Doctor who told you the nerve may have been damaged?
The Vagus nerve also controls of lot of digestive functions, have you noticed any problems?
In order to keep the heart rate sufficently fast, Doctors sometimes need to implant a Pacemaker that will discharge only when the SA Node fails to fire. This type of Pacemaker monitors the heart, and if the SA Node goes too long without firing, the Implanted Pacemaker will discharge, therefore keeping the heart rate fast enough. If the SA Node works as expected, the Implanted Pacemaker does not do anything, just monitors.
You have suffered a great injustice, and I'm sorry for your experience. I do not know what the black substance was, or what the results of exposure may be. However, the skipped beats may be caused simply by confusion in the heart muscle itself.
Your heart cells are all capable of contracting and causing the heart to beat. Usually, this job is segregated to specific cells that most people refer to as the "natrual pacemaker.

The low heart rate could be due to Vagus Nerve influences, since the Vagus Nerve represents the Parasympathetic Nervous System, which is designed to slow your heart rate.
Or it could be related to the SA node in the heart, which is the heart's natural pacemaker. The SA node discharges, the atrium contracts, the signal goes to the AV node, causing it to discharge, which causes the ventricles to contract.
Hi, am doing some research. please can you explain why an 89yr old with pacemaker kept her 70bpm pulse with a fever of 40 deg.C. Also what were the metabolic implications for her? Many thanks.
It can be stress related as there are a number of physical acts can increase parasympathetic nervous supply to the heart, resulting in blocking of electrical conduction through the AV node. Stress interacts with the parasympathic system and the vagus nerve. This in effect influences the specialized cells (sinus node) that controls rhythm. Impaired signals from the sympathic nerve network, can/will impair sinus output and cause an alteration of fast to slow arrhythmia.
s is NOT GOOD, rates that low can actually cause the heart to just stop beating. You need to have a pacemaker put in. If you are taking any kind of cardiac drugs, you needs to have them adjusted. Call your doctor.
I also have inappropriate sinus tachycardia and at times my parasympathetic nervous system is very over-reactive, so I am hoping this is another over-reactive type thing.
The spread of electricity throughout the heart muscle is possible because all heart muscle cells, not just pacemaker cells, are excitable. Usually, the heart muscle cells keep time more slowly than normal pacemaker cells. This allows the pacemaker cells within the SA node to be in control of generating and pacing the heartbeat.

By the way...I noticed the ??? near the "natural pacemaker" portion of your post. Thought I'd take a minute to help you understand.
The sinus atrial node is a clump of cells in your heart that put out an electrical current that causes the rest of your cells in the atrial center of your heart to contract. The electrical current continues into the ventricular node and causes the bottom of the heart to contract immediately after that.
Yes, the condition can infect the heart's natural pacemaker. The heart's "natural" pacemaker is called the sinoatrial (SA) node or sinus node. It's a small mass of specialized cells in the top of the heart's right atrium (upper chamber). It makes the electrical impulses that cause your heart to beat.
If the cells are dead, a cath would not be of any help. If the cells are hibernating due to low blood flow to the area, medication can increase the blood flow to the area....angina with stress and rest normal blood flow.
Your symptoms, if any, would be the issue to correct. If you are having chest pain (angina) with exertion and rest relieves the chest pain that would be stable angina and medication can be effective.
There is a specific path which the current flows through and it has a special group of cells to cause a delay before the ventricles are depolarised, to give them time to fill and the atria to relax.
Your autonomic nervous system is primarily comprised of two parts, the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. The sympathetic speeds your heart up, the parasympathetic slows it down. (Therefore the reason that it may have temporarily caused your heart's natural pacemaker, the SA node, not to discharge, this is normal). Your body has a Fight or Flight defense. You either aggressively address a frightening situation, or you flee from it.
These were stem cells made from my OWN STEM CELLS not embryonic. So, no chance of rejection, no extra pills to take. There is over an 80% chance of
improvement. My EF was between 12 and 15% before new stem cells. Have not had another EF test yet. I am diabetic(insulin dependent.) I do have a defibrillator and pacemaker. Would be only too happy to share my experiences - they will be on-going!! It is a shame one has to go out of the country to have this procedure done.
There can be different reasons, but it generally finds a different way around, through normal heart cells. However, this can cause a delay, meaning the right chamber is contracting slower or is delayed compared to the left. This is probably what they are referring to with regards to borderline. Causes could be genetic history, certain infection types, recent heart attack, heart disease. If the cells are damaged, then there is always the option of a pacemaker.
hypokinesis can also be the result of stunned cells. Stunned heart cells affected by a heart attack can be revitalized if blood/oxygen is quickly provided within a few hours to the area affected by an acute heart attack.
Akinesis is different from hypokinesis in that the heart cells affected are necrotic (dead). Stem cell therapy may be helpful for that condition.
Five years ago I had hypokinesis of the left ventricle wall and a low EF.
my father had a heart attack in 1984, a pacemaker four years ago andnow is diagnosed with heart failure, is this normal?
Hello, my father (early 60s) is on an ICD. His cardiologist wants to make the heart completely dependent upon the pacemaker, as the medicines my father is on aren't working. Unfortunately, I was unable to sit in on the meeting between my father and the cardiologist.
My question to you is this - do you know the name of the procedure that would fully sever the nerves which incite the heart to beat?
