Electrophysiology of Single Cardiac Cells

Abstract

The major part of this review deals with results obtained by the use of the intracellular microelectrode. Certain results obtained by use of the older techniques of monophasic recording are also included, but very little work based on conventional ecg methods was considered. It has not proved possible to present the material in the framework of a unifying theory. In particular, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain agreement between the ionic hypothesis and recent results obtained on various cardiac cells.
