Journal ArticleDOI

Age-associated decrease in ventricular response to haemodynamic stress during beta-adrenergic blockade.

TL;DR: Echocardiography could be used as an invasive method of determining the effects ofaging on theability of the left ventricle to respond to haemodynamic stress to detect age changes in left ventricular function anddimensions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Synchronization of sinoatrial node pacemaker cell clocks and its autonomic modulation impart complexity to heart beating intervals

TL;DR: Both the average beating interval in vivo and beating interval complexity are conferred by the combined effects of clock periodicity intrinsic to pacemaker cells and their response to autonomic neural input.
Journal ArticleDOI

The integration of spontaneous intracellular Ca2+ cycling and surface membrane ion channel activation entrains normal automaticity in cells of the heart's pacemaker.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the Sinoatrial nodal cell (SANC) action potential (AP) is entrained and stabilized by the tight integration of the SR Ca 2+ Clock that generates rhythmic SCaRIE, and the surface membrane Clock that responds to SC aRIE to immediately produce APs of an adequate shape.
Journal ArticleDOI

ATPase activity and force production in myofibrils and twitch characteristics in intact muscle from neonatal, adult, and senescent rat myocardium.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the twitch prolongation of the senescent myocardium cannot be directly related to the age-related decline in myofibrillar ATPase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hemodynamic effects of unloading the old heart.

TL;DR: Combined preload and afterload reduction with NP in older individuals improves overall LV ejection phase function: exercise LV stroke work is reduced, EF is increased, and stroke volume is maintained in the setting of a reduced ventricular size.
