Abstract
There is a sparse T-tubule network in atrial myocytes throughout both dog atria, with significant numbers of myocytes in both atria-the right atrium more so than the left atrium-having no T-tubules at all. These regional differences in T-tubule distribution, along with differences in cell width and sarcomere spacing, may have implications for the emergence of substrate for atrial fibrillation.
