摘要
前言
心房颤动(房颤)是十分常见的心律失常。其群体发病率约为0.4%~0.9%,它的危险度随年龄的增加而升高。房颤分为阵发性房颤、持续性房颤和永久性房颤,后两者又称为慢性房颤。阵发性房颤常发展为慢性房颤,其转化率随病因而有所差异。在发展为慢性房颤的因素中,阵发性房颤的持续时间是关键的。在阵发性房颤的持续时间小于2天的患者中有31%将转为慢性,而如果阵发性房颤的持续时间更长,这个数值将会高达46%。
对于阵发性房颤发展为慢性房颤者,可能存在某种机制使颤动波维持稳定或终止后很快复发。Katz等将心房颤动对心脏的影响分为3个基本方面:①代谢改变(细胞);②离子通道改变(基因);③结构改变(器官)。代谢适应过程发生最快,一般在心率改变的数秒至数分内即出现,细胞内离子浓度、离子泵活性、离子通道的磷酸化程度发生变化。当心率改变持续数小时或数天时,会出现电重构。当房颤持续数周后,心房肌细胞会发生结构改变,若持续更长时间,则心房肌细胞产生不可逆的结构破坏。
房颤所引起的心房电重构是维持房颤自身延续并发展为持续性房颤的主要原因之一,即所谓的房颤导致房颤作用(Atrial Fibrillation Begets Atrial Fibrillation)。而房颤所引起的结构重构为持续性房颤转复窦律后心房肌收缩功能抑制的重要原因。因此目前研究认为房颤的电重构和结构重构是房颤的两个最重要特征。
研究已证明,钠氢交换体1型(NHE-1)参与了心肌细胞内的钙的调节过程,NHE-1的激活是心房短期电重构和结构重构的机制之一。有证据表明,短期房颤心房肌因存在氧供需失衡,可能存在细胞内酸中毒,使用钠氢交换体抑制剂

Background
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia with a prevalence of 0.4% to 0.9% in the population. Its incidence increases with age. The course of atrial fibrillation can be classified to paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and chronic atrial fibrillation (including persistent atrial fibrillation and permanent atrial fibrillation). Most of patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation often progresses to chronic atrial fibrillation with different transform ratio by different pathogenesis. The duration of the paroxysms of atrial fibrillation was found to be of importance, transition to chronic atrial fibrillation occurring in 31% of patients with paroxysms shorter than 2 days versus 46% if the episodes of atrial fibrillation were of longer duration.
There may be a mechanism to maintain atrial fibrillation or relapse during the course from paroxysmal atrial fibrillation to chronic atrial fibrillation. Katz's divided the influence of heart by atrial fibrillation into three types, they are metabolic change (on the cell), ion channel change (on the gene) and structure change (on the organ). The fastest change is on the metabolism which occurs from a few seconds to a few minutes. The ion concentration in the cells, the activity of ion pump and the phosphorylation of ion channel will be changed. And the electrophysiological remodeling will happen
when the atrial fibrillation sustains a few hours or a few days. The atrial myocardium cells will remodel after a few weeks. Then long-term atrial fibrillation will cause irreversible structure destroy.
The electrophysiological remodeling caused by atrial fibrillation is one of the reasons which beget the maintain of atrial fibrillation and develop to the sustained atrial fibrillation. It's just called "Atrial Fibrillation Begets Atrial Fibrillation". And the structure remodeling caused by atrial fibrillation is an important factor which leads the atrial contractile dysfunction after sustain atrial fibrillation defibrillation. So in recent studies indicate that the electrophysiological and structure remodeling is the most character of atrial fibrillation.
Previous studies show that the Na+/H+ Exchanger subtype 1 (NHE-1) take part into the regulation of Calcium in the myocardium cells, and the activity of NHE-1 is one of the mechanisms of the short-term electrophysiological remodeling and the structure remodeling. Some evidence indicates that atrial myocardium cells have intracellular acidosis because is hypoxia during short-term atrial fibrillation. The Na+/H+ Exchanger Inhibitors (NHEIs) prevent the Na+ overload and the secondary Ca2+ overload caused by intracellular acidosis. So it prevents the electrophysiological remodeling.
There is no report about atrial eletrophysiological remodeling effects of NHEI. The purpose of this study was to test the atrial electrophysiological remodeling effects of Cariporide, a selective blockade of the cardiac NHE-1 isoform, in short-term rapid atrial pacing on rabbit, and suspect the mechanism of NHE-1 in atrial electrophysiological remodeling. Materials and Methods 1, Study subjects
