This study of in-vitro electroporation assessed cultured layers of cardiomyocytes and neurons and showed that neurons have a slightly lower threshold compared to cardiomyocytes. In addition neurons showed continued cell death up to 24 hours after treatment, while cardiomyocytes trended towards low levels of recovery. This insight provides further understanding of how ganglionated plexi may be ablated and myocytes spared in an in vivo scenario.
