Popis In this work, we studied the role of the transverse-axial tubular system (TAT-system) in arrythmogenesis of ventricular cardiac cells under conditions of simulated hypokalaemia (low [K]e). We used the model of a mammalian ventricular myocyte that integrated the quantitative description of electrical activity of surface and tubular membranes and dynamic changes in intracellular ion concentrations. To maintain potassium homeostasis, an energy-dependent K+ extrusion pump was incorporated into the model. According to predictions provided by the model, the TAT-system protects the cell against arrhythmogenesis due to the enhancement of a potassium concentration gradient between tubular and extracellular spaces at low levels of [K]e. The energy-dependent K extrusion pump maintains tubular [K] at a level higher than the overall [K]e. This makes the activation of tubular K-conductances responsible for action potential repolarisation and resting voltage.
