Re-Evaluation of the Action Potential Upstroke Velocity as a Measure of the Na(+) Current in Cardiac Myocytes at Physiological Conditions

BACKGROUND: The SCN5A encoded sodium current (I(Na)) generates the action potential (AP) upstroke and is a major determinant of AP characteristics and AP propagation in cardiac myocytes. Unfortunately, in cardiac myocytes, investigation of kinetic properties of I(Na) with near-physiological ion conc...
