TL;DR
This study examines the structure of Purkinje fibers in dog hearts to improve treatments for heart rhythm disorders.
Contribution
The study reveals the 'graded', 'layered', and 'networked' distribution of Purkinje fibers in canine left ventricles.
Findings
Purkinje fibers in the canine left ventricle show transverse orientation observed via Lugol's staining.
Microscopic analysis revealed longitudinal distribution patterns of Purkinje fibers.
The observed fiber distribution can guide catheter ablation for Purkinje-related arrhythmias.
Abstract
Purkinje‐related ventricular arrhythmias have been increasingly reported, and with the development of catheter ablation techniques, intervention for Purkinje‐related arrhythmias has been shown to be effective. The characteristics of Purkinje fibres orientation in the 12 canine left ventricles were observed at a gross level by staining the endocardium with Lugol's solution. Purkinje fibres were observed microscopically by HE, Masson's, PAS glycogen, and Cx40 immunohistochemical staining. Staining was successful, and the transverse orientation characteristics of Purkinje fibres were observed by Lugol's staining, and the longitudinal distribution was observed microscopically. The distribution of Purkinje fibres in the canine left ventricle is ‘graded’, ‘layered’, and ‘networked’, which can guide catheter ablation of Purkinje‐related ventricular arrhythmia.
