Atrial-ventricular differences in rabbit cardiac voltage-gated Na(+) currents: Basis for atrial-selective block by ranolazine

BACKGROUND: Class 1 antiarrhythmic drugs are highly effective in restoring and maintaining sinus rhythm in atrial fibrillation patients but carry a risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmia. The antianginal agent ranolazine is a prototypic atrial-selective voltage-gated Na(+) channel blocker but the mecha...
