1. Indicators and representative curves for the study of action potentials of papillary muscles and Purkinje fibers in animals (rats, guinea pigs, rabbits, dogs):
Action potential amplitude, resting potential, duration at 50% repolarization level, and duration at 90% repolarization level.

This figure illustrates the representative curve of the action potential effect of Quinidine on rat papillary muscles.
2. Instrument: AM 1600 isolated differential amplifier, AM1600 Headstage.
