KATP channels are integral to the functions of many cells and tissues. The use of
electrophysiological methods has allowed for a detailed characterization of KATP channels …

Background The use of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with ST‐
segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is associated with a mortality rate of 5 …

This study tested the hypothesis that inhibition of myocardial injury and modulation of
mitochondrial dysfunction by postconditioning (Postcon) after 24 h of reperfusion is …

The activation of cardiac cell membrane ATP-sensitive potassium channels during
myocardial ischemia promotes potassium efflux, reductions in action potential duration, and …

The present study was conducted to determine whether the infarct sparing effect of short-
term exercise is dependent on the operation of the myocardial sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive …

ATP-dependent potassium channels (KATP) have been implicated in cardioprotection both
during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion. We compared the effect of a non-selective …

Increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been linked to the pathogenesis
of contractile dysfunction in heart failure. However, it is unclear whether ROS can regulate …

Cardiac atrial and ventricular arrhythmias are major causes of mortality and morbidity.
Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause underlying 1) the development of …

Aim: This study was performed to assess the effect of selective sarcolemmal adenosine
triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive K+ channel (KATP) inhibition and the mitochondrial KATP …

Ischemia and heart failure-related cardiac arrhythmias, both atrial (eg, atrial fibrillation) and
ventricular (eg, malignant tachyarrhythmias) represent a leading cause of morbidity and …
