Prolonged duration of repolarization and decreased conduction velocity in the atrial myocardium after hypothermic ischemia-reperfusion may be related to expressions of inward rectifier potassium channel 2.1 protein and connexin 40.

CONCLUSIONS: The prolonged duration of repolarization and a decrease in conduction velocity of the atrial myocardium occur in rats after hypothermic ischemia-reperfusion. These observed effects may be related to the downregulated expressions of connexin 40 and inward rectifier potassium channel 2.1. PMID: 32650696 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
