Electrogenesis of Biopotentials in the Cardiovascular System

In 1979 Dr Sperelakis published the "Origin of the Cardiac Resting Potential" in the "Handbook of Physiology of the Heart". Since that time, many investigators and teachers of membrane biophysics have used this article as a source of reference on the fundamental principles and equations describing the factors that establish the resting potential in excitable and non-excitable cells. Professor Sperelakis has expanded the scope of this article to create a comprehensive work and a resourceful reference on the electrophysiological concepts underlying cellular excitability.
