Challenges prior in vitro repolarisation models; leaves open clinical relevance for human ischaemia and arrhythmia risk.
Are transmural repolarisation gradients present in the human left ventricle during normoxia and early global ischaemia?
In vivo human data challenges previous in vitro findings by demonstrating that transmural repolarisation is homogeneous across the left ventricular wall during both normoxia and early global ischaemia.
Peter Taggart (2001) studied this question.
