Mechanisms by Which Adenosine Restores Conduction in Dormant Canine Pulmonary Veins
Abstract
Background— Adenosine acutely reconnects pulmonary veins (PVs) after radiofrequency application, revealing “dormant conduction” and identifying PVs at risk of reconnection, but the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Methods and Results— Canine PV and left-atrial (LA) action potentials were recorded with standard microelectrodes and ionic currents with whole-cell patch clamp before and after adenosine perfusion. PVs were isolated with radiofrequency current application in coronary-perfused LA-PV preparations. Adenosine abbreviated action potential duration similarly in PV and LA but significantly hyperpolarized resting potential (by 3.9±0.5%; P <0.05) and increased dV/dt max (by 34±10%) only in PV. Increased dV/dt max was not due to direct effects on I Na , which was reduced similarly by adenosine in LA and PV but correlated with resting-potential hyperpolarization ( r =0.80). Adenosine induced larger inward rectifier K + current (I KAdo ) in PV (eg, −2.28±0.04 pA/pF; −100 mV) versus LA (−1.28±0.16 pA/pF). Radiofrequency ablation isolated PVs by depolarizing resting potential to voltages positive to −60 mV. Adenosine restored conduction in 5 dormant PVs, which had significantly more negative resting potentials (−57±6 mV) versus nondormant (−46±5 mV, n=6; P <0.001) before adenosine. Adenosine hyperpolarized both, but more negative resting-potential values after adenosine in dormant PVs (−66±6 mV versus −56±6 mV in nondormant; P <0.001) were sufficient to restore excitability. Adenosine effects on resting potential and conduction reversed on washout. Spontaneous recovery of conduction occurring in dormant PVs after 30 to 60 minutes was predicted by the adenosine response. Conclusions— Adenosine selectively hyperpolarizes canine PVs by increasing I KAdo . PVs with dormant conduction show less radiofrequency-induced depolarization than nondormant veins, allowing adenosine-induced hyperpolarization to restore excitability by removing voltage-dependent I Na inactivation and explaining the restoration of conduction in dormant PVs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
