Abstract:
Regional differences in electrical properties of cardiac cells contribute to the normal function of the heart as well as to the inscription of the J wave and T wave of the ECG. Amplification of these electrical heterogeneities can lead to the development of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. A number of ionic distinctions have been shown to contribute to the different action potential morphologies of epicardial, M and endocardial ventricular cells as well as to the distinctive responses of these three cell types to pharmacological agents and pathophysiological states (for reviews see Antzelevitch et al. 1999; Antzelevitch & Dumaine, 2000).
