[Ionic channels and currents in the cardiomyocytes.].
Review concerns modern views on ionic mechanism of action potential formation in cardiomyocytes. Main characteristics of cardiomyocyte ion current are described. Importance of ion current in formation of action potential phases in various regions of the heart is considered. Molecular structure and up-to-date classification of ion channels are presented. Number of genetic abnormalities which lead to appearance of arrhythmias are described.
