Gap-junction channels inhibit transverse propagation in cardiac muscle

<p>Abstract</p> <p>The effect of adding many gap-junctions (g-j) channels between contiguous cells in a linear chain on transverse propagation between parallel chains was examined in a 5 × 5 model (5 parallel chains of 5 cells each) for cardiac muscle. The action potential upstroke...
