Sustained or tetanic contraction of myocardial contractile cells would be life-threatening and is prevented by special properties of their action potential, leading to a significantly longer refractory period and preventing re-excitation before muscle contraction is over. The resting potential of myocardial contractile cells is around -90 millivolts. It’s almost exclusively maintained by potassium ion efflux through delayed rectifier potassium channels.
