| Description | The myocardium constitutes the bulk of the atrial and ventricular tissues. Cardiomyocytes exhibit the electrical properties of excitability and current conduction and the mechanical properties of contraction, active relaxation, passive elongation, and stiffness. The cardiomyocytes are joined by intercellular junctions and interstitial connective tissues that influence both electrical and mechanical functions of the heart. Myocardial diseases affect cardiomyocytes, cell junctions and supporting tissues. Clinical consequences can include arrhythmias, decreased contractility, and impaired myocardial relaxation and chamber distensibility. Severe myocardial disease can induce exercise intolerance, heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death. Book Name: Cardiovascular Disease in Companion Animals |
