...Márton Gönczi; Mária Kovács; György Seprényi; Ágnes Végh The present study has examined the role of GJ (gap junctions) in the delayed anti-arrhythmic effect of cardiac pacing, with particular reference to the time-course changes in Cx43 (connexin43) expression both after pacing (4×5 min, at a rate...

...Zsolt SZIGETI; Kornél SIMON; James R. PARRATT; Ágnes VÉGH The effect of cardiac pacing on repeated low-flow ischaemia-induced changes in regional myocardial segmental contractility, and the role in these changes of nitric oxide, were investigated in anaesthetized dogs. Dogs were instrumented...

... and ventricular cardiac pacing at normal heart rates. 2. Ventricular pacing induced an increase in plasma ANP concentrations (means ± SEM) from 44 ± 3 to 104 ± 4 pmol/l ( P < 0.01) in 11 patients in whom systemic blood pressure was maintained. 3. In contrast, when ventricular pacing was associated with a fall...
