The aim of this review is to provide basic information on the electrophysiological changes
during acute ischemia and reperfusion from the level of ion channels up to the level of …

Since it became clear that K+ shifts with exercise are extensive and can cause more than a
doubling of the extracellular [K+]([K+] s) as reviewed here, it has been suggested that these …

Transmembrane potentials, extracellular potassium activity, and intracellular sodium activity
were determined during acute global ischemia in Langendorff perfused guinea pig …

Ion carriers (a class of ionophores] are lipophilic complexing agents that have the capability
to reversibly bind ions and to transport these across organic membranes by carrier …

We studied the time course, magnitude and homogeneity of the change in extracellular
myocardial potassium activity after acute ligation of the left anterior descending coronary …

An experimental approach is described to quantitate inhomogeneity in extracellular K
concentration ([K+] out) in the presence of ischemia and to relate this inhomogeneity to the …

In 22 young domestic pigs, after thoracotomy, the distal half of the ramus descendens
anterior of the left coronary artery was occluded. This caused an ischemia affecting about …

We studied the individual and combined effects of extracellular acidosis and increases in
extracellular potassium on action potential characteristics and conduction in order to gain a …

We investigated the contribution of opening of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel to extracellular
accumulation of K+ during ischemia with the use of glibenclamide, a specific blocker of this …

In acute reversible myocardial ischemia extracellular potassium activity rises 4 to 5 fold
within 10 to 15 min after interruption of coronary perfusion. The underlying net cellular K+ …
