Effects of vagal stimulation on cesium-induced early afterdepolarizations and ventricular arrhythmias in rabbits.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The effects of lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) on electrophysiological activities and intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i) were investigated in coronary arterial smooth muscle cells (CASMCs). METHODS AND RESULTS:The patch clamp techniques and Ca2+ measurements were applied to cultured rabbit CASMCs. The...
