Multi-Walled Carbon Nanotubes Impair Kv4.2/4.3 Channel Activities, Delay Membrane Repolarization and Induce Bradyarrhythmias in the Rat

PURPOSE: The potential hazardous effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on cardiac electrophysiology are seldom evaluated. This study aimed to investigate the impacts of MWCNTs on the Kv4/I (to) channel, action potential and heart rhythm and the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: HEK293 cell...
