Task 3. During some diseases, one can observe the diminishing of the duration of the action potential of typical cardiomyocytes. This makes conditions for pathological recirculation of excitatory impulses (action potentials) by the heart structures and it violates the pump's function of the heart. Explain the reason for it.
