Abstract

The minipig represents an attractive experimental animal within cardiovascular research due to its extensive similarities to the human heart in terms of anatomy and physiology. Although minipigs have been used for cardiovascular research for decades no thorough characterization of the minipig cardiac electrophysiology has been performed. Therefore, we have for the first time characterized the minipig cardiac repolarization in a series of experiments ranging from mRNA quantification to in vivo studies.
