The Different Mechanisms of Action Potential Propagation in the Heart
It was thought previously that cardiac muscle gap junctions provide low-resistance connections between cells and permit the local-circuit current to flow. Some evidences show that myocardial cells may not require low-resistance connections for successful propagation of the action potential (AP). It seems that some other types of mechanisms must be involved in AP propagation. In this article, we...

متن کاملExperimental evidence for proarrhythmic mechanisms of antiarrhythmic drugs.
The major limitation to antiarrhythmic drug therapy is the risk of arrhythmia promotion, or 'proarrhythmia.' This complication may be lethal, and greatly restricts the value of antiarrhythmic agents, particularly for arrhythmias without an intrinsic mortality risk, such as atrial fibrillation. In order for improved antiarrhythmic drug therapy to be developed, it is essential to understand the f...
متن کاملAn Official Journal of the American Heart Association BRIEF REVIEWS Antiarrhythmic Drug Action Blockade of the Inward Sodium Current
THE mechanisms of action of antiarrhythmic drugs were discussed in these reviews over a decade ago (Rosen and Hoffman, 1973). Since then, important new concepts of the blocking action of drugs have been proposed and tested experimentally. Several attempts at a quantitative voltage clamp analysis of the blocking action of antiarrhythmic drugs have been made. The mechanism of the blocking action ...
