| Title of Talk | A model of cardiac action potential incorporating caveolae-associated ion currents |
| Abstract | The contraction of a cardiac cell is initiated by a transient depolarization of the cell membrane called an action potential. Action potentials result from the rapid movement of ions across the membrane through pores called ion channels. Recent electrophysiological data regarding caveolae, small invaginations of the cell membrane, reveal that caveolae are reservoirs of |
