            Abstract : 
The global bifurcation structure of the Hodgkin-Huxley-type equation of a ventricular myocardial cell is analyzed by varying the maximum conductances of ionic channels as a bifurcation parameter. From the results, we investigate the drug sensitivity of various ionic channels of a ventricular myocardial cell.
