[Article in German] BÃ¶hm M. Adenosine has a negative inotropic effect in cardiac atrial preparations (direct negative inotropic effect). This effect is probably due to an activation of a potassium outward current which shortens the action potential duration and hence reduces the force of contraction.
A scatterplot is a graph that is used to plot the data points for two variables. Each scatterplot has a horizontal axis (x-axis) and a vertical axis (y-axis). One variable is plotted on each axis.
Paired data can be graphed by means of a scatterplot. In this type of graph, one coordinate axis represents one quantity of the paired data while the other coordinate axis represents the other quantity of the paired data.
