Abstract :
Heart failure (HF) induces remodeling in cellular ionic channel kinetics and calcium handling in the ventricle. In the present study, we investigated the effects of HF on rate dependent electrical activity of human ventricular myocytes by characterizing the dynamic action potential duration restitution (APDr), action potential (AP) alternans, intracellular calcium transient ([Ca2+]i) alternans, and delayed after depolarizations (DADs) AP. Conduction velocity restitution (CVr) and vulnerability window (VW) of homogeneous tissue to reentry subject to DAD was investigated. Vulnerability of transmural ventricular strand was also quantified under normal (NF) and HF conditions
