BMSC‐DMs have electrophysiological properties of cardiac myocytes: The electrical properties of the BMSC‐DMs were related to the degree of coupling with NRVMs. BMSC‐DMs with minimal contact with NRVMs (A); BMSC‐DMs attached to a NRVM (B); NRVMs with minimal contact to other cells (C). Basal electrophysiological properties of BMSC‐DMs co‐cultured with NRVMs: BMSC‐DMs exhibited spontaneous action potentials (APs), whereas some NRVMs required electrical stimulation induced AP measurement. RMP: resting membrane potential; APD‐90, action potential duration at 90% repolarization.
