Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:This study was designed to determine whether ionic currents in right ventricular myocytes from explanted human transplant recipient hearts are related to right ventricular histopathology and function. BACKGROUND:Cardiac action potential duration (APD) is prolonged in ventricular tissues/cells from patients with heart failure, but the ionic mechanisms are not well documented. METHODS:Membrane currents and transmembrane action potentials in myocytes from right ventricular epicardium of explanted human hearts were recorded using whole-cell patch clamp technique. Data from cells from right ventricles with severe histologic and functional abnormalities (abnormal histology group [AH]) and from right ventricles with preserved histology and function (relatively normal histology group [RNH]) were compared. RESULTS:We found that APD at 50% (APD(50)) and 90% repolarization (APD(90)) were significantly longer in AH cells than in RNH cells. Early afterdepolarizations (EADs) were observed in 20% of AH cells and none of the RNH cells. Inwardly rectifying K(+) current (I(K1)) was decreased (both inward and outward components). Both transient outward K(+) current (I(to1)) and slowly delayed rectifier K(+) current (I(Ks)) were down-regulated in AH cells. L-type Ca(2+) (I(Ca.L)) was not altered in AH cells. CONCLUSIONS:I(K1), I(to1), and I(Ks) are down-regulated in AH cells of human heart failure. This down-regulation contributes to APD prolongation that favors the occurrence of arrhythmogenic EADs and suggests a link between human cardiac histopathologic/functional abnormalities and arrhythmogenic ionic remodeling.
