Developmental Changes in Membrane Electrical Properties of the Heart

  • Chapter
Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Heart

Part of the book series: Developments in Cardiovascular Medicine ((DICM,volume 90))

Abstract

Important physiologic, electrophysiologic, pharmacologic, biochemical, and ultrastructural changes occur during the embryonic development of avian and mammalian hearts. For example, striking changes occur in the electrical properties of ventricular myocardial cells during embryonic development of chick heart. In many mammalian hearts, some of the changes extend into the early postnatal period. These changes affect and determine the functional behavior and properties of the heart at each stage of development and differentiation. Therefore, it is the purpose of this chapter to review and summarize many of these changes in properties. The attention of the reader will be called to a number of recent review articles that summarize these properties, as well as go into greater detail.
