Spatial structure and variability of the cardiac t-tubular system and its contribution to electrophysiological heterogeneity

<p>Background: The cardiomyocyte cell membrane is composed of the surface membrane and a complex system of membrane invaginations, the t-tubules. In keeping with its role in synchronisation of electromechanical coupling, the t-tubular system is distinguished from the cell membrane by its ion c...
