Evolution of Action Potential Propagation and Repolarization in Cultured Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes

Maturation of Cultured Neonatal Rat Ventricular Myocytes. Introduction: Cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes (NRVM) reestablish gap junctions as they form synchronously and spontaneously beating monolayers, thus providing a useful model for studying activation and repolarization.
