Abstract
Heart failure (HF) produces important alterations in currents underlying cardiac repolarization, but the transmural distribution of such changes is unknown. We therefore recorded action potentials and ionic currents in cells isolated from the endocardium, midmyocardium, and epicardium of the left ventricle from dogs with and without tachypacing-induced HF. HF greatly increased action potential duration (APD) but attenuated APD heterogeneity in the three regions. Early afterdepolarizations (EADs) were observed in all cell types of failing hearts but not in controls. Inward rectifier K(+) current (I(K1)) was homogeneously reduced by approximately 41% (at -60 mV) in the three cell types. Transient outward K(+) current (I(to1)) was decreased by 43-45% at +30 mV, and the slow component of the delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(Ks)) was significantly downregulated by 57%, 49%, and 58%, respectively, in epicardial, midmyocardial, and endocardial cells, whereas the rapid component of the delayed rectifier K(+) current was not altered. The results indicate that HF remodels electrophysiology in all layers of the left ventricle, and the downregulation of I(K1), I(to1), and I(Ks) increases APD and favors occurrence of EADs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
