Stage-dependent changes in membrane currents in rats with monocrotaline-induced right ventricular...

Examines the sequential changes in action potential configuration in rat myocytes with the use of the whole cell patch-clamp technique at various stages of monocrotaline-induced right ventricular hypertrophy. Steady-state activation and inactivations; Cell capacitance of right and left ventricular myocytes; Characteristics of experimental animals.
