The Mechanoelectric Feedback: A Novel Calcium Clamp Method, Using Tetanic Contraction, for Testing the Role of the Intracellular Free Calcium
Mechanical perturbations affect the membrane action potential, a phenomenon denoted as the mechanoelectric feedback (MEF), and may elicit cardiac arrhythmias. Two plausible mechanisms were suggested to explain this phenomeno
