Rapid ventricular pacing in dogs is characterized by a dilated myopathy in which myocyte cell death by apoptosis may play a significant role in the impairment of cardiac pump function. However, the molecular mechanisms implicated in the modulation of programmed cell death under this setting remain to be identified. Moreover, questions have been raised on the specificity and sensitivity of the histochemical detection of DNA strand breaks in nuclei by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) reaction.
