Ranolazine-Mediated Attenuation of Mechanoelectric Feedback in Atrial Myocyte Monolayers
BackgroundMechanical stretch increases Na+ inflow into myocytes, related to mechanisms including stretch-activated channels or Na+/H+ exchanger activation, involving Ca2+ increase that leads to changes in electrophysiological properties favoring arrhythmia induction. Ranolazine is an antianginal dru...
