Pacemaker cells physiology
Common Questions and Answers about Pacemaker cells physiology
pacemaker
Potassium is a chemical element and it is part of the electrolyte that should be in balance with other lytes to adequately conduct an electrical impulse that originates with the sinus node in the right atrium. The mechanism of action is not completely understood, but what is when a voltage (unit of potential for conduction) and electrolyte there will conduction and passage of electrical impluses.
I believe there was a shortcoming in your initial response based on your lack of knowledge of the heart physiology and a pacemaker, and you believe there was a loose wire and that is the cause of the CHF. That's my opinion, and now you want to make an excuse...no excuse is necessary.
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.
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.

Serous Membranes
In anatomy, a serous membrane (or serosa) is a smooth membrane consisting of a thin layer of cells, which secrete serous fluid, and a thin connective tissue layer. Serous membranes line and enclose several body cavities, known as serous cavities, where they secrete a lubricating fluid which reduces friction from muscle movement.
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.
I have zero medical training, and never had an ablation, but from my reading I too feel similar to you in that my gut says go with the pacemaker. My brother has a pacemaker. He had it at age 21. He is awaiting a new one -now 10 years later, but he has done amazing! The part of the ablation that concerns me is how many say the develop other electrical issues. Again, I am not very informed on this.
When the doctor finished he said that I had dual av node physiology and he ablated as close to the av node that he thought he could get without ablating av node and he didnt want to install a pacemaker. He took me off cardizem and told me that it may not come back but it might because he was still able to pace my heart and make it skip one beat and it came back after the ablation. Now i am just waiting to see if it comes back or not.
I'm going to try to explain what I remember from my Anatomy/ Physiology class 8 years ago so that you won't be quite so concerned... hopefully. The spleen and the liver are two completely different organs with completely different jobs. The spleen gets enlarged because it is filtering out the damaged red blood cells and their fragments from the blood stream. If you read the pamphlet that came with the Ribavirin, it says that there is a chance of hemolytic anemia...
When i visited a different cardiologist couple weeks ago, he said that while i had a junctional rhythm, it didn't sound like something that was a danger...His wording was "The heart rhythm textbook is 6 inches thick and your rhythm is in chapter 1"...He also said "if you are given medication for this rhythm doesn't mean it will go away, but if you don't take any medication, it does not mean you'll die"...
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.
But in an in vitro study you have a constant exposure to the drug, which is impossible to achieve in vivo. And the cells used are not the same as regular hepatocytes in human liver, with many differences in gene expression and cellular physiology.
Concentric hypertrophy involves thickness of the heart walls, the chamber radius may not change. The underlying cause for this condition is a heart that has been overworked due to high blood pressure (usually).
This type of ventricle is capable of generating greater forces and higher pressures, while the increased wall thickness maintains normal wall stress.
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?
Threshold is point at which you generate an action potential...below it there is no response and anything above it produces a response. The response is "all-or-none", that is an action potential is what is generated. If I remember my physiology and understand your question... a delay in reaching threshold will increase the time in-between the action potentials generated thereby reducing their frequency. Hope this make sense.
My daughter was diagnosed with a variety of heart problem when she was two months old. She currently has a pacemaker which she only uses when her heart rate goes above 115 bpm. When she has surgery 7 years ago the surgeon lost a surgical needle in the center (av node) area of her heart. Could the needle be the reason she is having heart block? She is ten now.
they are not suggested with chemo because chemo is a toxic poison that kills cells (as a general comment) and antioxidants help clear the toxicity
but this is another universe, nothing to do with us, we need immune system and we try to boost it, chemo kills immune system too
