Physiological concentrations of 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) acutely increased burst-mode gating of Na+ channels in rabbit ventricular myocytes. Bursting was measured as the ratio of long events to the total number of events multiplied by 100 (%LE); a long event was defined as a set of openings or a single opening with a total duration greater than or equal to five times the control mean ope...
