Remodeling of cardiac passive electrical properties and susceptibility to ventricular and atrial arrhythmias

Remodeling of cardiac passive electrical properties and susceptibility to ventricular and atrial arrhythmias

Coordinated electrical activation of the heart is essential for the maintenance of a regular cardiac rhythm and effective contractions. Action potentials spread from one cell to the next via gap junction channels. Because of the elongated shape of cardiomyocytes, longitudinal resistivity is lower th...
