In native heart, pacing cells generate electrical stimuli that spread throughout the heart causing cell membrane depolarization and activation of contractile apparatus. We ought to examine whether electrical stimulation of adipose tissue-derived progenitor cells (ATDPCs) exerts phenotypic and genetic changes that enhance their cardiomyogenic potential.
