Why the study?
Does ethanol affect the contractility and electrical characteristics of isolated rat atria?
Does ethanol affect the contractility and electrical characteristics of isolated rat atria?
Ethanol directly depresses atrial contractility and shortens action potential duration, which may predispose to atrial dysrhythmias.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May predispose to atrial dysrhythmias; leaves open translation from isolated rat atria to clinical risk.
Gimeno et al. (1962) studied this question.
