Figure 3. The current clamp mode action potential from single cells was used to study the natural electrophysiologic properties. A marked prolongation of the action potential duration is seen in the non-LVAD supported cell, while after LVAD support myocytes tended to have shorter action potential durations. (Margulies 2000)
