The effect of cyanide on the K-current in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes
Basic Research in Cardiology
|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
The mechanism of the shortening of the cardiac action potential by cyanide was studied in guinea-pig ventricular myocytes using a two micro-electrode voltage clamp technique. It is shown that the shortening can be counteracted by glucose and is due to a marked increase in K conductance.
