Mechanical effects on KATP channel gating in rat ventricular myocytes.

Mechanical effects on KATP channel gating in rat ventricular myocytes.

Cardiac KATP channels link metabolism with electrical activity. They are implicated in arrhythmias, secretion of atrial natriuretic peptide and protection of the heart from hypertrophy and failure. These processes may involve mechanosensitivity. KATP channels can be activated by mechanical stimulati...
