Rate-dependency of action potential duration and refractoriness in isolated myocytes from the rabbit AV node and atrium [PDF]
During atrial fibrillation, ventricular rate is determined by atrioventricular nodal (AVN) conduction, which in part is dependent upon the refractoriness of single AVN cells.

Genetic insights into congenital heart disease: Prevalence, aetiology and clinical implications
The review synthesizes current knowledge on the genetic underpinnings of congenital heart disease, highlighting how modern genomic technologies enhance understanding of CHD pathogenesis and enable earlier diagnosis. We demonstrate how these genetic insights translate to improved clinical care, risk assessment, and genetic counseling for affected ...

Defining the polycystin pharmacophore through high‐throughput screening and computational biophysics
An unbiased high throughput electrophysiology screen identifies potent PKD2L1 channel inhibitors with divergent chemical composition that bind to pore fenestration receptors and stabilise their inactivated state. Abstract Background and Purpose Polycystins (PKD2, PKD2L1) are voltage‐gated and Ca2+‐modulated members of the TRP family of ion channels ...
