Properties of intracardiac neurons of controls, MI, and VNS-MI

Property	Controls, n = 64	MI, n = 55	VNS-MI, n = 55
Resting membrane potential, mV	−49.6 ± 0.8	−44.4 ± 0.6*	−49.5 ± 1.0
AHP amplitude, mV	15.7 ± 0.6	16.4 ± 0.5	16.5 ± 0.5
AHP half-decay time, ms	119.5 ± 6.2	105.9 ± 7.7	106.0 ± 8.2

Values expressed as means ± SE, with number of neurons shown. A Shapiro-Wilk test showed normality, and a significant effect (

^*P < 0.05) with ANOVA is shown for resting membrane potential and input resistance, MI vs. controls and VNS-MI. AHP, afterhyperpolarization.
