From: Mepivacaine reduces calcium transients in isolated murine ventricular cardiomyocytes

Fig. 2

Representative Ca2+ transients trace demonstrating the inhibitory effect of mepivacaine at half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) on in isolated mouse ventricular cardiomyocytes (a). Summarized data for the effect of mepivacaine (IC50) on biophysical parameters describing the general aspects of the Ca2+ transients: baseline (b) peak area (c), Duration at 50% of the maximum D50 (d) and duration (e). Results are expressed as mean ± SEM. Symbol (*) indicates significant change from control (p < 0.05). n = 42 cells for control and n = 29 cells for mepivacaine group
