Detailed understanding of IKs gating complexity may provide clues on the mechanisms of cardiac repolarization instability and the resulting arrhythmias. We developed and tested a kinetic Markov model to interpret physiologically relevant IKs properties, including pause-dependency and modulation by beta-adrenergic receptors (beta-AR). The model was developed from the Silva & Rudy formulation. Parameters were optimized on control and ISO experimental data, respectively.
