Abstract
This study examines the changes in ventricular conduction (CV) and action potential (AP) shape in isolated rat hearts during prolonged exposure to raised intracellular cAMP. Adult male Wistar rats (300-500g) were euthanized and hearts removed and Langendorff perfused with modified Tyrode's solution at 37oC. CV was recorded using custom electrodes placed on the epicardial surface of the left ventricle, which was paced continuously at 8HZ. The delay between the AP wavefront reaching two sequential sets of recording electrodes was used to calculate the CV. Annabel S. Campbell, Francis L. Burton, George S. Baillie, Godfrey L. Smith
