Ventricular anti-arrhythmic effects of heptanol in hypokalaemic, Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts
Ventricular arrhythmic and electrophysiological properties were examined during normokalaemia (5.2 mM [K+]), hypokalaemia (3 mM [K+]) or hypokalaemia in the presence of 0.1 or 2 mM heptanol in Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts. Left ventricular epicardial or endocardial monophasic action potential recordings were obtained during right ventricular pacing. Hypokalaemia induced ventricular prematu...
متن کاملEffects of protein kinase C activation on cardiac repolarization and arrhythmogenesis in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts.
AIMS Cardiac arrhythmias are still a major cause of mortality in western countries. Currently available antiarrhythmic drugs are limited by a low efficacy and proarrhythmic effects. The role of the protein kinase C (PKC) signalling pathway in arrhythmogenesis is still unclear. The goal of the present study was to test the effects of PKC stimulation on whole heart electrophysiology and its pro-/...
متن کاملAtrial Anti-Arrhythmic Effects of Heptanol in Langendorff-Perfused Mouse Hearts
Acute effects of heptanol (0.1 to 2 mM) on atrial electrophysiology were explored in Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts. Left atrial bipolar electrogram or monophasic action potential recordings were obtained during right atrial stimulation. Regular pacing at 8 Hz elicited atrial activity in 11 out of 11 hearts without inducing atrial arrhythmias. Programmed electrical stimulation using a S1S2 p...
متن کاملGap junction inhibition by heptanol increases ventricular arrhythmogenicity by reducing conduction velocity without affecting repolarization properties or myocardial refractoriness in Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts
In the current study, arrhythmogenic effects of the gap junction inhibitor heptanol (0.05 mM) were examined in Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts. Monophasic action potential recordings were obtained from the left ventricular epicardium during right ventricular pacing. Regular activity was observed both prior and subsequent to application of heptanol in all of the 12 hearts studied during 8 Hz p...
متن کاملPharmacological changes in cellular Ca2+ homeostasis parallel initiation of atrial arrhythmogenesis in murine langendorff-perfused hearts
1. Intracellular Ca(2+) overload has been associated with established atrial arrhythmogenesis. The present experiments went on to correlate acute initiation of atrial arrhythmogenesis in Langendorff-perfused mouse hearts with changes in Ca(2+) homeostasis in isolated atrial myocytes following pharmacological procedures that modified the storage or release of sarcoplasmic reticular (SR) Ca(2+) o...
