This study aimed to investigate the effects on electrotonic myofibroblast-myocyte (Mfb-M) coupling on cardiac myocytes excitability and repolarization of the voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) and single mechanogated channels (MGCs) in human atrial Mfbs. Mathematical modeling was developed from a combination of (1) models of the human atrial myocyte (including the stretch activated ion channel current,I<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow>S<\/mml:mi>A<\/mml:mi>C<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:msub><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>) and Mfb and (2) our formulation of currents through VGSCs (I<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow>N<\/mml:mi>a<\/mml:mi>_<\/mml:mo>M<\/mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>b<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:msub><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>) and MGCs (I<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow>M<\/mml:mi>G<\/mml:mi>C<\/mml:mi>_<\/mml:mo>M<\/mml:mi>f<\/mml:mi>b<\/mml:mi><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:msub><\/mml:mrow><\/mml:math>) based upon experimental findings.
