The development of L-type Ca2+ current mediated alternans does not depend on the restitution slope in canine ventricular myocardium

Abstract Cardiac alternans have crucial importance in the onset of ventricular fibrillation. The early explanation for alternans development was the voltage-driven mechanism, where the action potential (AP) restitution steepness was considered as crucial determining factor. Recent results suggest th...
