The document outlines the objectives and content of a lecture on cardiac anatomy and physiology. It begins with the objectives of describing the orientation and features of the heart chambers, embryological development of the atria, ionic basis of pacemaker action potentials, and mechanisms of heart rhythm disorders. The document then presents various slides on topics including the anatomy of the heart chambers and conduction system, embryological development of the heart, and ionic basis of automaticity and disorders of heart rhythm conduction and formation.

Objectives
• Outline the orientation of the chambers of the heart.
• Highlight the gross features of the inside of the heart.
• Summarize the embryology of the heart with an emphasis on the development of the
atria.
• Describe the ionic basis of pacemaker action potential.
• Explain mechanisms of heart rhythm disorders (e.g. impulse reentry) and how
catheter ablation target those mechanisms.

Ibn-Sina (Avicenna)
• “Abu Ali placed his hand on the patient’s
pulse, and mentioned the names of the
different districts and continued until he
reached the name of a quarter at the
mention of which, as he uttered it, the
patient’s pulse gave a strange flutter. Then
Abu Ali repeated the names of different
streets of that district and different houses
till he reached the name of a house at the
mention of which the patient’s pulse gave
the same flutter. Finally, he uttered the
name of different households of that house
until he reached a name at the mention of
which that strange flutter resumed.
Thereupon he said: This man is in love with
such-and-such a girl, in such-and-such a
house, in such-and-such a street, in such-and-
such a quarter: the girl’s face is the
patient’s cure”.

SEPTUM PRIMUM
• A sickle shaped septum (septum
primum) grows from the roof of the
primitive atrium towards the septum
intermedium.
• The lower rim of the septum primum is
separated from the septum intermedium
by opening called the foramen primum.
• Before complete closure of the foramen
primum, the upper part of septum
primum will breaks down to form the
foramen secondum (between the upper
margin of septum primum and the roof
of primitive atrium), allowing a free
passage of blood flow from right to left
side.
27. Dr. Akram Jaffar
SEPTUM SECONDUM
• A cresentic fold from the cephalic wall of
the primitive atrium grows downward
towards the septum intermedium, but
not fused with it.
• The septum secondum lies to the right
side of septum primum. The free concave
edge of the septum secondum begins to
overlap the foramen secondum.
• The new passage formed between the
right and left atrium is called the
foramen ovale.
• The foramen ovale is not a simple orifice,
but an oblique passage.
28. Dr. Akram Jaffar
Before Birth
Pressure in the right atrium is higher because:
– The lungs are not functioning
– More oxygenated blood reaches the
right atrium from the placenta via the
IVC. This allows the blood stream to
pass from right atrium to left atrium
through the foramen ovale.
29. Dr. Akram Jaffar
After Birth
Pressure inside the left atrium increases and
exceeds that of the right atrium due to:
– Stoppage of the placental circulation
– Exposure to cold, which stimulates the
respiration and lung functions, more
blood reaches the left atrium (from the
lungs)
The difference in the pressure between the
two atria presses the septum primum against
the septum secondum and the two septa
become fused together, and as a result of this:
– The lower edge of septum secondum
will form the annulus ovalis .
– The septum primum will form the fossa
ovalis (the depression below the
annulus ovalis).

Disorders of heart rhythm are due
to alterations in:
• Impulse formation
• Impulse conduction
• Both
33. Dr. Akram Jaffar
Alterations of impulse formation
• Altered automaticity (↓ or ↑ sinus node automaticity mainly
due to change in ANS)
• Abnormal automaticity (leaky membrane due to cell injury)
• Triggered activity - afterdepolarization

While the primitive right atrium enlarges by incorporation of the right sinus horn, the primitive left atrium is likewise expanding. Initially, a single embryonic pulmonary vein develops as an outgrowth of the posterior left atrial wall, just to the left of the septum primum. This vein gains connection with veins of the developing lung buds. During further development, the pulmonary vein and its branches are incorporated into the left atrium, forming the large smoothwalled part of the adult atrium. Although initially one vein enters the left atrium, ultimately, four pulmonary veins enter as the branches are incorporated into the expanding atrial wall.
In the fully developed heart, the original embryonic left atrium is represented by little more than the trabeculated atrial appendage, while the smooth-walled part originates from the pulmonary veins. On the right side, the original embryonic right atrium becomes the trabeculated right atrial appendage containing the pectinate muscles, and the smooth-walled sinus venarum originates from the right horn of the sinus venosus.
Figure 1. How catheter ablation works in different types of tachycardias. Sections of heart muscle where tachycardia originates are depicted. A, A focus (*) is repeatedly firing to cause tachycardia by spreading outward to other cells; the ECG below shows SVT at 200 beats/min. A catheter with a large electrode at its tip is in contact with the focus; after ablation (right), the area of the focus has been damaged and is no longer firing. Arrows show normal electrical propagation and the ECG below is normal. B, A reentrant circuit is shown with electrical propagation around a nonconducting barrier to produce VT at a rate of 180 beats/min, as shown in the ECG below. The impulse must pass through a narrow “bottleneck” to continue. This is an area (where catheter tip is pointing) at which a small amount of damage can eliminate reentry; after ablation, the bottleneck is sealed off, preventing reentry. The ECG rhythm below is normal.
