  • Remodeling of Myocardial Passive Electrical Properties: Insights Into the Mechanisms of Malignant Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death
    Remodeling of Myocardial Passive Electrical Properties: Insights into the Mechanisms of Malignant Arrhythmias and Sudden Cardiac Death. DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Carlos Luis del Rio, M.S. Graduate Program in Electrical and Computer Science The Ohio State University 2015 Dissertation Committee: Professor Bradley D. Clymer, Ph.D., Advisor Professor George E. Billman, Ph.D., Co-Advisor Professor Furrukh S. Khan, Ph.D. Copyright by Carlos Luis del Rio 2015 Abstract Despite extensive research, sudden cardiac death (SCD) resulting from ischemia-induced malignant arrhythmias, such as ventricular fibrillation (VF), remains a leading cause of death, particularly following myocardial infarction (MI). Furthermore, SCD is generally the first and most common manifestation of the disease, as current risk-stratifying tools are inaccurate and insufficient. Acute/chronic changes in the passive electrical properties governing electrotonic coupling in the myocardium have been proposed as a potential mechanism mediating both the onset and maintenance of arrhythmias, as the loss of homogenizing electrotonic coupling can exacerbate intrinsic pro-arrhythmic electrical heterogeneities within the ventricle, especially during repolarization. However, no study to date has assessed the ability of indices reflective of electrotonic changes to stratify intrinsic arrhythmic susceptibility in vivo. Leveraging a well-established in vivo post-MI canine model of SCD and lethal arrhythmias, this research work investigates the pro-arrhythmic role of changes in the passive electrical properties of the myocardium, as measured by its complex electrical impedance spectrum (MEI). The studies were performed under the general hypothesis that the loss of electrotonic coupling accompanies and facilitates the development of malignant arrhythmias in the setting of ischemia and post-MI ventricular/autonomic remodeling.

    Neuronal Nitric Oxide Synthase Signaling Contributes to the Beneficial Cardiac Effects of Exercise DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Steve R. Roof Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program The Ohio State University 2012 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Mark T. Ziolo, PhD Advisor Dr. George E. Billman, PhD Dr. Sandor Gyorke, PhD Dr. Brandon Biesidecki, PhD ABSTRACT Exercise is beneficial to one’s health, reduces the risk of cardiomyopathies, and is utilized as a therapeutic intervention after disease [2-7]. This is due, in part, due to the beneficial chronic adaptations that enhance contraction and accelerate relaxation [8]. These intrinsic exercise-induced adaptations are observed at the level of the cardiomyocyte [9]. That is, ventricular myocytes from exercised (Ex) mice exhibit increased Ca2+ cycling and contraction-relaxation rates [6, 9-12]. Additionally, cardiac growth (physiological hypertrophy) and an increase in aerobic fitness (VO2max) are hallmark cardiac adaptations due to exercise training. The molecular mechanisms that explain how the heart adapts are not fully understood and studies examining signaling pathways are limited. A signaling molecule with a potential role in cardiac adaptations to exercise is nitric oxide (NO). Nitric Oxide (NO) has been shown to be a key regulator of myocyte contractile function. NO, produced via the neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS or NOS1), enhances basal contraction by increasing Ca2+ cycling through the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) [13-15]. Data suggest that NOS1 signaling increases Ca2+ uptake by targeting the SR Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA2a)/phospholamban (PLB) complex. NOS1 signaling also targets the SR Ca2+ release channel (ryanodine receptor - RYR2) to increase its open time probability [16].

  • Regulation of Cardiac Voltage Gated Potassium Currents in Health and Disease
    REGULATION OF CARDIAC VOLTAGE GATED POTASSIUM CURRENTS IN HEALTH AND DISEASE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for The Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Arun Sridhar, M.S. ****** The Ohio State University 2007 Dissertation Committee: Dr. Cynthia A. Carnes, Pharm.D, PhD Approved By: Dr. Robert L. Hamlin, DVM, PhD ______________________ Dr. Sandor Gyorke, PhD Advisor Dr. Mark T. Ziolo, PhD Graduate Program in Biophysics ABSTRACT Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. CVD accounts for more deaths than all forms of cancer in the United States. Hypertension, Heart Failure and Atrial Fibrillation are the most common diagnosis, hospitalization cause and the sustained cardiac arrhythmia respectively in the US. Sudden cardiac death is the one of the most common causes of cardiovascular mortality after myocardial infarction, and a common cause of death in heart failure patients. This has been attributed to the development of ventricular tachyarrhythmias. In addition, most forms of acquired CVD have been shown to produce electrophysiological changes due to very close interactions between structure, signaling pathways and ion channels. Due to the increased public heath burden caused by CVD, a high impetus has been placed on identifying novel therapeutic targets via translational research. Identification of novel therapeutic targets to treat heart failure and sudden death is underway and is still in a very nascent stage. In addition, ion channel blockers, more specifically “atrial-specific” ion channel blockers have proposed to be a major therapeutic target to treat atrial fibrillation without the risk of ventricular pro- arrhythmia.

  • Effect of Omega-3 Fatty Acids on Ventricular Action Potentials in a Canine Model of Sudden Cardiac Death
    Effect of omega-3 fatty acids on ventricular action potentials in a canine model of sudden cardiac death THESIS Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Sarmistha Mazumder Graduate Program in Pharmacy The Ohio State University 2010 Master's Examination Committee: Cynthia Carnes, PharmD, PhD, Advisor Terry S. Elton, PhD George E. Billman, PhD Copyright by Sarmistha Mazumder 2010 Abstract Background : Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is the most common cause of death in the United States and in most developed countries, accounting for ~ 50% of total mortality. The most common underlying cause of SCD is “ventricular fibrillation” (VF). Several clinical trials have reported conflicting results on the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids for the prevention of lethal ventricular arrhythmias following infarction. The explanation for these inconsistent results remains to be determined. Methods : Dogs with healed left ventricular anterior wall myocardial infarctions (MI, 3-4 weeks post- MI, n = 76) were subjected to an exercise and ischemia test to stratify animals by arrhythmia risk as VF susceptible, VF + (n = 46) and VF resistant, VF - (n = 30). The animals were then assigned to omega-3 fatty acid ethyl esters (1-4 grams/day, n = 45) or corn-oil treatment (placebo, n = 31) for 3 months. Following treatment, arrhythmia inducibility was re-evaluated with the exercise and ischemia test. The left ventricular myocytes were isolated one week following the exercise plus ischemia test. Five age matched dogs served as controls (non-infarcted). Action potentials were recorded by perforated whole cell patch clamp studies (T= 36 ± 0.5ºC) to measure the resting membrane potentials (RMP) and the action potential duration at 90% repolarization (APD 90 ).

  • Letter to President Obama Vivisection Marlene Phelan March 17, 2011
    letter to president obama vivisection marlene phelan March 17, 2011 1 March 17th, 2011 The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW Washington, D.C. 20500 Dear Mr. President; I would like to speak out for 115 million individuals a year whose voices will never be heard. I would like to speak of their outrageous, heartbreaking suffering. “Sanitized Sadism” is what it has been called by one human. This legalized torture is hidden in buildings without windows. It takes place in basements, cellars, and underground rooms. George Bernard Shaw once said, “There are hundreds of paths to scientific knowledge. The cruel ones can teach us only what we ought not to know.” This sanitized sadism costs the United States taxpayers over 18 billion dollars annually. This tragic waste of life is represented here in print, photos and DVD’s of numerous undercover investigations of laboratories in the United States. These animals are voiceless victims of a devious atrocity that is called vivisection. Vivisection is a method of “science”, which was labeled by Dr. Frederic Mayo, founder of the Mayo clinic, as “Evil.” “My own conviction is that the study of human physiology by way of experiments on animals is the most grotesque and fantastic 2 error ever committed in the whole range of human intellectual ability.” (Dr. G.F. Walker in “Medical World” Dec. 8, 1933). The victims of these scientific atrocities have faces. I would like to introduce you to one rare survivor known formerly only as “CH 411”. (“CH 411”,Tom, 1965-2009) 3 “CH 411” was the way he was referred to by laboratory workers that kept him in a cage for 30 years.
