Beating may preserve ICa density in cultured neonatal rat myocytes; hypothesis-generating for model validity before in vivo or clinical translation.
In long-term cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes, cell beating appears necessary to maintain calcium current density, highlighting electrophysiological differences between quiescent and beating cell models.
Guo et al. (1996) studied this question.
