Cardiac Electrophysiology divided into two lectures:
1 - Ventricular action potential (this one)
2 - Pacemaker action potentials
Outline:
- During exercise, the heart increases CO (Cardiac Output)
- This is achieved by increasing HR and SV (Heart Rate and Stroke Volume)
- These two lectures are devoted to the electrophysiological aspects of these changes
- For most of us the terminal event will be a cardiac arrhythmia...but what causes them?
