Overview
The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.
OR
It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
OR
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
OR
Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
OR
[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
OR
The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
OR
The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
The normal physiology of PSVT can be understood as follows:
Electrical impulses are generated in the sinoatrial (SA) node.These electrical impulses propagate through the right and left atrium. Then travels in an anterograde direction to the ventricles via the atrioventricular (AV) node. The AV node has a physiologic delay in impulse conduction, this delay is essential for that synchronized AV contractions[1][2] .
Pathogenesis
PSVTs are belived to be caused by abnormalities in impulse formation and conduction pathways.
- Impulse Abnormalities:
The impulse is affected by the previous action potential. In PSVT the abnormal impulse is due to:
· Early after-depolarization, which is promoted by:
· Slow heart rate
· Decreased or increased outward current
· Delayed after-depolarization
· Intracellular Ca++ overload
- Conduction pathways:
Different reentry circuits in the heart.
Genetics
