Cardiac electrophysiology research programs within the Duke Divison of Cardiology include:
Cardiac Electrophysiology and Tissue Engineering
In vitro studies of cardiac arrhythmias and design of electrically safe cell- and tissue-replacement therapies
Electrophysiology and Pharmacology of Excitable Membranes
Investigations of the molecular events that control excitation in cardiac muscle and the mechanisms by which excitation is modified by drugs
Regulation of Cardiac Ion Channels and Arrhythmogenesis
Focusing on intracellular calcium and the feedback mechanism that is of vital importance to normal cardiac function
