Journal ArticleDOI

PR interval genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 50 loci associated with atrial and atrioventricular electrical activity.

Jessica van Setten, +137 more
TL;DR: Findings implicate developmental pathways, and identify transcription factors, ion-channel genes, and cell-junction/cell-signaling proteins in atrio-ventricular conduction, identifying potential targets for drug development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Age-associated changes in the components of atrioventricular conduction in apparently healthy volunteers.

TL;DR: The modest age-associated prolongation of the P-R interval is localized to the proximal P- R segment, probably reflecting delay within the atrioventricular junction, which is responsible for first degree A-V block in apparently healthy older men.
Journal ArticleDOI

Starling's law of the heart is explained by an intimate interaction of muscle length and myofilament calcium activation

TL;DR: "Contractile" or "inotropic" state as it refers to the extent of myofilament activation can, in theory, no longer be considered independent of the muscle length, as was formerly thought to be the case.
Journal ArticleDOI

Neuroticism, coronary artery disease, and chest pain complaints: Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed chest pain reports and other CAD symptoms in the context of a model of personality and health which emphasizes the role of the enduring disposition of neuroticism as a determinant of perceptions of health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dissociation of changes in apparent myofibrillar Ca2+ sensitivity and twitch relaxation induced by adrenergic and cholinergic stimulation in isolated ferret cardiac muscle.

TL;DR: The effects of ACh and ISN of modulating the apparent myofilament Ca2+ sensitivity in intact muscles, corroborate findings of previous studies in isolated myofibrillar preparations.
