Diclofenac Prolongs Repolarization in Ventricular Muscle with Impaired Repolarization Reserve
BACKGROUND The aim of the present work was to characterize the electrophysiological effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac and to study the possible proarrhythmic potency of the drug in ventricular muscle. METHODS Ion currents were recorded using voltage clamp technique in canine single ventricular cells and action potentials were obtained from canine ventricular prepa...
متن کاملEffects of diclofenac on ventricular muscle repolarization: proarrhythmic implications
Results Diclofenac (30 μM) decreased the amplitude of rapid (IKr) and slow (IKs) delayed rectifier and L-type calcium currents (ICa) without influencing transient outward (Ito) and inward rectifier (IK1) potassium currents. The action potential was slightly lengthened in ventricular muscle but shortened in Purkinje fibres by diclofenac (20 μM). The maximum upstroke velocity (Vmax) was decreased...
متن کاملReduced repolarization reserve in ventricular myocytes from female mice.
OBJECTIVE Cardiac repolarization is prolonged and repolarization reserve (RR) is diminished in female rabbits and humans, compared to males. Reduced RR is evidenced by the relatively greater increase in ventricular action potential duration (APD) in myocytes from females in response to drugs that block repolarizing K(+) currents. Mice are an increasingly important experimental model animal for ...
متن کاملRepolarization reserve: a moving target.
Clinicians are well aware that responses to QT-prolonging drugs vary among individuals.1 A drug dose (and concentration) that produces minimal QT prolongation in one patient may, in an apparently indistinguishable subject, produce marked QT prolongation and torsade de pointes. This variability in response to an exogenous stressor is paralleled by variability in the extent to which a given mutat...
متن کاملDevelopmental Differences in Ventricular Repolarization
Ventricular repolarization significantly influences contractility, refractoriness, and ion channel state. Factors affecting repolarization will thus affect these secondary phenomena. To understand the influence of age on ventricular repolarization, we studied neonatal, young, and adult dogs using electrocardiogram, action potential, and whole-cell voltage-clamp recordings from single epicardial...
