Abstract:
Analytic expressions are derived relating the transmembrane potential to the intracellular, interstitial and external potentials in a cylindrical strand of cardiac muscle lying in a saline bath. The bidomain model is used to account for the anisotropy and interstitial space in the tissue. The implications of this model for interpreting potential data from strands of cardiac muscle are discussed.
