Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an arrhythmia that can occur as the result of numerous different
pathophysiological processes in the atria. Some aspects of the morphological and …

Atrial fibrillation is a condition in which control of heart rhythm is taken away from the normal
sinus node pacemaker by rapid activity in different areas within the upper chambers (atria) of …

Generation of homogeneous populations of subtype-specific cardiomyocytes (CMs) derived
from human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) and their comprehensive phenoty** is …

The mechanisms underlying many important properties of the human atrial action potential
(AP) are poorly understood. Using specific formulations of the K+, Na+, and Ca2+ currents …

The human genome encodes 40 voltage-gated K+ channels (KV), which are involved in
diverse physiological processes ranging from repolarization of neuronal and cardiac action …

The heart is a rhythmic electromechanical pump, the functioning of which depends on action
potential generation and propagation, followed by relaxation and a period of refractoriness …

The diversity in the biological response of 4-thiazolidinones has attracted the attention of
many researchers to explore this framework for its potential. It is, therefore, of prime …

Optimal cardiac function depends on proper timing of excitation and contraction in various
regions of the heart, as well as on appropriate heart rate. This is accomplished via …

Drugs targeting atrial‐specific ion channels, Kv1. 5 or Kir3. 1/3.4, are being developed as
new therapeutic strategies for atrial fibrillation. However, current preclinical studies carried …

The aim of this review is to provide basic information on the electrophysiological changes
during acute ischemia and reperfusion from the level of ion channels up to the level of …
