A computational model demonstrates that stretch-activated and stretch-modulated currents significantly alter action potential characteristics and conduction safety in ventricular myocytes.

Model predictions implicate stretch currents in proarrhythmic APD changes; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Healy et al. (2005) studied this question.
