Chemical-induced hypoxia prolongs action potential duration in rat neonatal cardiomyocytes. (A) Representative action potential traces of cardiomyocytes subjected to normoxia or chemical hypoxia and treated with a vehicle. APD at 30% (B), 50% (C), and 90% (D) of repolarization corrected by the beat rate (n = 31–41). The points represent individual measurements, and the bars represent the mean ± SEM. The significance of differences was determined using the unpaired t-test or Mann–Whitney test. ***P < 0.001 versus normoxia.
