title: [The capacity for reactive DNA synthesis of the myocytes in the heart conduction system in experimental and clinical myocardial pathology].
abstract: The DNA synthesis has been studied in the conductive system (CS) myocytes, compared to that in atrial and ventricular myocytes: 1) in the left ventricular myocardial infarction induced in two- and three-week-old and adult rats, 2) after isoproterenol injections to adult rats and mice, and 3) in the hypertrophied human heart. The extent of DNA synthesis reactivation was evaluated by the cumulative labeling indices in experiments with multiple 3HTdR injections to rats and mice. In the human cardiac myocyte nuclei, the DNA content was determined by the Feulgen-cytophotometry. The difference between the control and experimental mean values of the labeling indices for CS myocyte nuclei was statistically significant only for atrioventricular part of the CS in the infarcted hearts of adult rats. In the human heart CS the ability of myocytes to polyploidization varies from one cell type to another, the lowest being in nodal cells.
