In Veutricular muscles,THP,at higher Concentration,shortened APDs,and APD90 The reductions of Vmax and APA were significant only at highest concentration,300 μmol/L,ERP was relatively prolonged in both Purldnje fibers and ventricular muscles.These studies suggest that THP may inhibit Ca2+ and Na+ movement across the membrane of myocardlal cells.展开更多

It is important to understand the mechanism by which LDVF is maintained and defibrillated. Purkinje fibers (PFs) have been demonstrated to play a key role in the onset of certain types of ventricular fibrillation. In this review, we discuss the electrophysiological difference between PFs and working myocardium, and the role of the PFs in the maintenance and termination of LDVF.展开更多
