Block of sodium current by heptanol in voltage-clamped canine cardiac Purkinje cells.

abstract：:It is believed that inotropic agents exert their effects in cardiac muscle via a modulation of Ca2+ cycling; however, the involvement of phospholipase activation and the biochemical pathways participating in inotropic responsiveness remain unclear. The aim of the current study was to determine whether arachidonic acid...
