Table 2. IKr Markov model transitions and equations adapted from Clancy & Rudy (2001).

The V1/2Activation/Deactivation and V1/2Inactivation/Recovery are abbreviated V1/2AD and V1/2IR, respectively. Note, the temperature (T), voltage (V), and extracellular [K+] are not pre-defined but inputted during simulation. The MM rates are defined in milliseconds−1 (ms).
