The threshold electric field for stimulation of ventricular myocytes decreases progressively with postnatal maturation, which correlates with cell geometry and size and may inform pediatric defibrillation procedures.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Maturation-linked myocyte thresholds in rats are hypothesis-generating for pediatric defibrillation dosing; leaves open human translation.
Gomes et al. (2001) studied this question.
