Figure 1.
Action potential waveforms and underlying ionic currents in human atrial (left) and ventricular (right) myocytes. Ito= transient outward current; IKur= ultrarapid delayed rectifierpotassium current; IKr= rapid delayed rectifierpotassium current; IKs= slow delayed rectifierpotassium current; IK1= inward rectifierpotassium current; IK,ACh= acetylcholine‐sensitive potassium current; IK(ATP)= ATP‐dependent potassium current. Structural channel protein components are given for all currents. Cartoons show schematic current profileof the corresponding potassium current.
