| Abstract | Drugs, such as cisapride, have to be withdrawn from clinical uses due to their side effects, i.e., cardiotoxicity. As an agonist, it can activate 5-Hydroxytryptamine 4 (5-HT4) receptors which are localized in sinoatrial node (SAN) and atrium. Our goal was to investigate the actions of cisapride alone and its combined effects with 5-HT4 receptors that impair cardiac pacemaking action potentials (APs) and their conduction using multi-scale models (the Zhang et al. models of APs of rabbit SAN cells and an anatomically detailed 2-D model of the intact SAN-atrium tissue models). At single cell level, the action of cisapride on IKr had positive chronotropic effect in the central SAN cell, but had virtually no effect on the peripheral cell. When its activation to 5-HT4 receptors was also considered, cisapride increased the pacing rate (PR) in centre SAN cell; but decreased it substantially in the periphery SAN cell. At the tissue level of the intact SAN-atrium, cisapride increased the PR and amplified the tachycardia effect of 5-HT4 receptor activation. It altered the activation sequence of cardiac excitation waves and reduced the maximum up-stroke velocity of the atrium. Moreover, early afterdepolarization was observed in the atrium. Our study shed light on the mechanisms of cisapride-induced arrhythmogenesis, suggesting that 5-HT4 receptors activation should be avoided in designing new anti-arrhythmic drugs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
