    Abstract Background: Biventricular epicardial (Epi) pacing can augment left ventricular (LV) function in heart failure. We postulated that these effects might involve catecholamine release from local autonomic nerve activation. To evaluate this hypothesis we applied low intensity Epi electrical stimuli during the absolute refractory period (ARP), thus avoiding altered activation sequence.
    Methods: Anesthetized pigs (n = 6) were instrumented with an LV pressure (LVP) transducer, left atrial (LA) and LV Epi pacing electrodes, and sonomicrometer segment length (SL) gauges placed proximal and remote to the LV stimulation site. A catheter was placed into the great cardiac vein adjacent to the LV pacing site for norepinephrine (NE) analysis. During LA pacing at constant rate, 3 pulses (0.8 milliseconds, 2-3x threshold) were applied to the LV Epi electrodes during the ARP. An experimental run consisted of baseline, stimulation (10 minutes), and recovery (5 minutes), repeated 3 times before and after β1 - receptor blockade (BB, metoprolol).
    Results: ARP stimulation produced significant increases in cardiac function reflected by elevated LVP, LV, dP/dtmax , and reduced time to LV dP/dtmax . This was accompanied by increased coronary NE levels and increases in LVP versus SL loop area in the remote myocardial segment. In contrast, the proximal segment exhibited early shortening and decreased loop area. BB abolished the changes in SL and LV function despite continued NE release.
    Conclusion: These results demonstrate that ARP EPI stimulation induces NE release mediating augmented global LV function. This effect may contribute to the beneficial effect of biventricular Epi pacing in heart failure in some patients.

    Abstract The Krafla area in north Iceland hosts a high‐temperature geothermal system within a volcanic caldera. Temperature measurements from boreholes drilled for power generation reveal enigmatic contrasts throughout the drilled area. While wells in the western part of the production field indicate a 0.5–1 km thick near‐isothermal (∼210°C) liquid‐dominated reservoir underlain by a deeper boiling reservoir, wells in the east indicate boiling conditions extending from the surface to the maximum depth of drilled wells (∼2 km). Understanding these systematic temperature contrasts in terms of the subsurface permeability structure has remained challenging. Here, we present a new numerical model of the natural, pre‐exploitation state of the Krafla system, incorporating a new geologic/conceptual model and a version of TOUGH2 extending to supercritical conditions. The model shows how the characteristic temperature distribution results from structural partitioning of the system by a rift‐parallel eruptive fissure and an aquitard at the transition between deeper basement intrusions and high‐permeability extrusive volcanic rocks. As model calibration is performed using a Bayesian framework, the posterior results reveal significant uncertainty in the inferred permeability values for the different rock types, often exceeding two orders of magnitude. While the model shows how zones of single‐phase supercritical vapor develop above the deep intrusive heat source, more data from deep wells is needed to better constrain the extent and temperature of the deep supercritical zones. However, the model suggests the presence of a significant untapped resource at Krafla.
