Does hypokalemia promote arrhythmia by distinct mechanisms in atrial and ventricular myocytes?
Hypokalemia induces arrhythmias via distinct mechanisms in atrial versus ventricular myocytes, which are further influenced by subcellular structure and electrophysiology.
Distinct mechanisms underlie hypokalemia-induced arrhythmia in the ventricle and atrium but also vary between atrial myocytes depending on subcellular structure and electrophysiology.
Tazmini et al. (Wed,) studied this question.
