Sodium channels in the Cx43 gap junction perinexus may constitute a cardiac ephapse: an experimental and modeling study

It has long been held that electrical excitation spreads from cell-to-cell in the heart via low resistance gap junctions (GJ). However, it has also been proposed that myocytes could interact by non-GJ-mediated “ephaptic” mechanisms, facilitating propagation of action potentials in tandem with direct...
