Purkinje cells are specialized for rapid propagation in the heart. Furthermore, Purkinje fibers as the source as well as the perpetuator of arrhythmias is a familiar finding. This is not surprising considering their location in the heart and their unique cell ultrastructure, cell electrophysiology, and mode of excitation-contraction coupling. This review touches on each of these points as we outline what is known today about Purkinje fibers/cells.
浦肯野细胞在心脏中具有快速传播的特性。此外,浦肯野纤维作为心律失常的起源和维持者是一种常见的发现。考虑到它们在心脏中的位置以及它们独特的细胞超微结构、细胞电生理学和兴奋-收缩耦联方式,这并不奇怪。在概述目前对浦肯野纤维/细胞的了解时,本文将涉及到这些要点。
