Action potentials of cardiac muscle in healing infarcts: Response to norepinephrine and caffeine

Previous studies have shown that the muscle fibers that survive on the epicardial surface of a 5- or 14-day-old infarct in canine hearts have reduced or absent plateau phase during repolarization. Since the absence of a plateau phase could be related to a decrease in the slow inward current, we dete...
