Effect of transverse gap-junction channels on transverse propagation in an enlarged pspice model of cardiac muscleAbstract Background In previous PSpice modeling studies of simulated action potentials (APs) in parallel chains of cardiac muscle, it was found that transverse propagation could occur between adjacent chains in the absence of gap-junction (gj) channels, presumably by the electric field (EF) generated in the narrow interstitial...
Transverse propagation in an expanded pspice model for cardiac muscle with gap-junction ion channelsTransverse propagation was previously found to occur in a two-dimensional model of cardiac muscle using the PSpice software program for electronic circuit design and analysis....
Gap-junction channels inhibit transverse propagation in cardiac muscleThe effect of adding many gap-junctions (g-j) channels between contiguous cells in a linear chain on transverse propagation between parallel chains was examined in a 5 × 5 model (5 parallel chains of 5 cells each) for cardiac muscle....
Transverse propagation of action potentials between parallel chains of cardiac muscle and smooth muscle cells in pspice simulationsBACKGROUND: We previously examined transverse propagation of action potentials between 2 and 3 parallel chain of cardiac muscle cells (CMC) simulated using the PSpice program....
