Action potential characterisation. (A) Example of action potentials (AP) and the AP upstroke velocity (inset) measured in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes cultured in engineered heart tissue (EHT) or in human left ventricular tissue (LV) at 36.5 °C paced at 1 Hz. (B) Corresponding AP parameters. N: number of EHTs/LV tissues; n: number of impalements with the sharp microelectrode. RMP, resting membrane potential; APA, action potential amplitude; dV/dt, maximum upstroke velocity; APD90, AP duration at 90% repolarisation.
