title: [Research of the electrophysiological properties of isolated ventricular papillary muscle of rhesus].
abstract: The electrophysiological properties of cardiac muscle of rhesus (Macaca mulatta) by use of intracellular electrode technique has been described in this paper. Thirty papillary muscle from 8 rhesus were used for this research and 68 successful records had been obtained. The value of resting potential is -86.26 +/- 7.57 mV (M +/- SD). The configuration of the action potential is typical for the ventricular muscle of mammalian. The amplitude of action potential is 118.80 +/- 10.69 mV: over-shoot is 25.57 +/- 6.11mV. The APD20, APD50, APD80, APD100 is 184.33 +/- 64.04, 301.02 +/- 95.32, 382.17 +/- 125.81 and 436.33 +/- 122.39 ms, respectively. The maximum depolarization velocity of 0 phase is 101.20 +/- 17.59 V/s. The effective refractory period is 292.69 +/- 93.91ms. Comparing the results of the rhesus cardiac muscle with that of other mammalians, authors found that they were very similar. It is suggested that the results and analysis of its mechanism derived from investigation of other mammalian cardiac tissues are applicable to the human.
