Optical Maps of Drug Response of Human Hearts (IMAGE)
Caption
The human heart's response to the same cardiovascular drugs. These atrial maps of failing hearts show the response without drugs(left), to the the drug diazoxide (middle) and to pinacidil (right). Both drugs significantly reduced action-potential duration in the atria. (Note that each map has a different color scale.) What holds for the mouse heart, does not hold for the human heart.
