Figure 5. Effects of Kv4.3-L450F and Kv4.3-G600R on the Right Ventricular Epicardial Action Potential.
A, Simulated Ito current traces during step depolarization for 100 ms to 0 mV from a holding potential of −90 mV. Only first 60 ms are shown. Solid line – WT; dotted line – L450F; dashed line – G600R.
B, RV epicardial action potentials simulated using WT, L450F, and G600R mutant Ito incorporated into a modified Luo-Rudy II AP model. BCL = 800 ms (75 bpm). Solid line – WT; dotted line – L450F; dashed line – G600R. Only the 5th AP in the equilibration chain is displayed here, the AP shape does not change in subsequent cycles.
