    • Moderate but not severe hypothermia causes pro-arrhythmic changes in cardiac electrophysiology 

      Dietrichs, Erik Sveberg; McGlynn, Karen; Allan, Andrew; Connolly, Adam; Bishop, Martin; Burton, Francis; Kettlewell, Sarah; Myles, Rachel; Tveita, Torkjel; Smith, Godfrey L (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-07)
      <i>Aims</i> - Treatment of arrhythmias evoked by hypothermia/rewarming remains challenging, and the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This <i>in vitro</i> experimental study assessed cardiac electrophysiology in isolated rabbit hearts at temperatures occurring in therapeutic and accidental hypothermia.<p><p> <i>Methods and results</i> - Detailed ECG, surface electrogram, and panoramic optical ...

    • Resistance to ventricular fibrillation predicted by the QRS/QTc - ratio in an intact rat model of hypothermia/rewarming 

      Dietrichs, Erik Sveberg; Selli, Anders Lund; Kondratiev, Timofei; McGlynn, Karen; Smith, Godfrey L; Tveita, Torkjel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-04)
      Accidental hypothermia is associated with increased risk for arrhythmias. QRS/QTc is proposed as an ECG-marker, where decreasing values predict hypothermia-induced ventricular arrhythmias. If reliable it should also predict nonappearance of arrhythmias, observed in species like rat that regularly tolerate prolonged hypothermia.<p> <p>A rat model designed for studying cardiovascular function during ...
