title: Mechanisms and control of repolarization.
abstract: This paper describes and discusses interventions that may lead to prolongation of the action potential. Special emphasis is given to regulation by drugs. The results of studies focusing on the modulation of inward and outward currents are presented in detail. Specific attention is given to Na+, Ca2+, K+ and Cl- channel currents and their components.
