Table 1.

Parameters in cell model, with nominal values and derivation of value.

Current Parameter Nominal value Derivation
INa gNa 12 mS/μF Chosen so conduction velocity in 1D monodomain simulations was 60 cm/s (Kadish et al., 1986) – see text
Em −52.244 mV m3(V) fit to voltage clamp data (Cordeiro et al., 2008, Figure 5D) (canine epicardial data, averaged over cells)
km 6.5472 mV
τm* 0.12 ms Taken from Gray and Pathmanathan (2016) (based on rabbit INa activation data under physiological conditions, due to lack of canine INa activation data under physiological conditions). Together with δh, τh0 and some IKr parameters, these are the only parameters based on non-canine data.
Eh −78.7 mV Taken from Pathmanathan et al. (2015) (Table 1), which is derived from fits to canine epicardial data published in Cordeiro et al. (2008).
kh 5.93 mV
δh 0.799163 Taken from Gray and Pathmanathan (2016). Together with τm* and some IKr parameters these are the only parameters based on non-canine data.
τh0 6.80738 mV
IK1 gK1 0.73893 mS/μF All derived by simultaneously fitting the IK1 model to canine epicardial voltage clamp recordings (unpublished).
Experimental EK was also fit as a free parameter, and Ez was shifted to correspond to EK = −85mV
Ez −91.9655 mV
kz 12.4997 mV
Ito gto 0.1688 mS/μF Derived by fitting the Ito model with s = 1 to Ito activation voltage clamp recordings [raw data behind Figure 2 of Cordeiro et al. (2012)].
Er 14.3116 mV
kr 11.462 mV
Es −47.9286 mV Derived by fitting s(V) to Ito inactivation voltage clamp recordings
[raw data behind Figure 3 of Cordeiro et al. (2012)].
ks 4.9314 mV
τs* 9.90669 ms Average of τs(V) for voltages in range 10-50 mV using raw data behind Figure 2 of Cordeiro et al. (2012).
ICaL gCaL 0.11503 mS/μF Derived by fitting the ICaL model to data digitized from Iyer et al. (2012) (Figure 3, epi) using values of Ed, kd, Ef, kf below
Ed 0.7 mV Taken from Table 2 in Iyer et al. (2012)
kd 4.3 mV
Ef −15.7 mV
kf 4.6 mV
τf* 30 ms Taken from Xiao et al. (2006) (Figure 8)
IKr gKr 0.056 mS/μF gKr, gKs and τxr* were jointly calibrated so simulated APD restitution matched experiment – see text
Exr −26.6 mV Taken from Berecki et al. (2005) (Table 1), based on HEK cell data.
kxr 6.5 mV
τxr* 334 ms gKr, gKs and τxr* were jointly calibrated so simulated APD restitution matched experiment – see text
Ey -49.6 mV Taken from Berecki et al. (2005) (Table 1), based on HEK cell data.
ky 23.5 mV
IKs gKs 0.0080 mS/μF gKr, gKs and τxr* were jointly calibrated so simulated APD restitution matched experiment – see text
Exs 24.6 mV Taken from Liu and Antzelevitch (1995) (text).
kxs 12.1 mV
τxs* 628 ms
Other ENa 65 mV Taken from Gray and Pathmanathan (2016).
EK −85 mV Based on resting membrane potential recordings in Di Diego et al. (1996)
ECa 50 mV Based on data digitized from Iyer et al. (2012) (Figure 3, epi)
