Ion currents, action potentials, and noradrenergic responses in rat pulmonary vein and left atrial cardiomyocytes

Abstract The electrophysiological properties of pulmonary vein (PV)‐cardiomyocytes, and their responses to the sympathetic neurotransmitter, noradrenaline (NA), are thought to differ from those of the left atrium (LA) and contribute to atrial ectopy. The aim of this study was to examine rat PV cardi...
