Abstract: Investigates the role of the sodium/calcium ion exchange current (INa/Ca) in human atrial myocytes. Suppression of tail current; Recognition of action potential types; Effect of caffeine in internal calcium ion (Cai) transients; Mediation of beat-to-beat relationship between Cai and action potentials; Delayed afterdepolarizations among atrial myocytes.
