Lymphocyte sodium efflux and serum level of cyclic AMP in patients with ventricular arrhythmias

Abstract
Disorders in ionic transport across the cell membrane of cardiomyocytes leading to abnormalities in the impulse generation and propagation may be a cause of ventricular dysrhythmia. The adenosine triphosphatase-dependent sodium-potassium pump (Na+ K+,-ATPase) and cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) play an important role in this transport. Na+, K+,-ATPase is responsible for extrusion of three sodium cations from the cell in exchange for two potassium cations brought into the cytosol, thus creating a negative membrane potential. The part played by cAMP in the transmembrane ionic transport consists of, essentially, an increase in calcium influx into the cell and, to a lesser extent, potassium and a decrease in sodium influx, as a result of the phosphorylation of appropriate ion channels catalyzed by protein kinase.
Keywords: K+ -adenosine triphosphatase, cyclic adenosine monophosphate, Propafenone, metoprolol, amiodarone, Na+, ventricular arrhythmias
