The aim of the present study was to advance our knowledge regarding the anatomy of the purkinje fibres from their origin, at the bundle branches, till their termination within the myocardium. Indian ink injections of the purkinje fibres were carried out in the left ventricle of 25 fresh sheep heart
The effects of the cardioplegic solution HTK on membrane potential (EM) and intracellular K and Na activities (a~, a~a) were studied in sheep cardiac Purkinje fibres by means of conventional and ion-selective microelectrodes. HTK contains (raM): Na 15, K 10, Ca 0, Mg 4, histidine 180. (1) In control
Membrane currents and changes in intracellular calcium ion concentration ([Ca2+]i) have been recorded that can be attributed to the operation of an electrogenic, voltage-dependent sodium-calcium (Na-Ca) exchanger in mammalian heart cells. Single guinea-pig ventricular myocytes under voltage clamp we
