Effects of altered extracellular potassium and pacing cycle length on the class III antiarrhythmic actions of dofetilide (UK-68,798) in guinea-pig papillary muscle.

Abstract:

:The effects of altered extracellular K+ concentrations ([K+]o) and pacing cycle lengths (CLs) on the electrophysiological actions of dofetilide (UK-68,798), a potent class III antiarrhythmic agent, were examined in isolated guinea-pig ventricular papillary muscle. At a normal [K+]o (4 mM) and at CL between 300 and 5000 msec, dofetilide (10 nM) significantly increased the action-potential duration (APD) and the effective refractory period (ERP), whereas other action-potential parameters were unaffected. Elevation of [K+]o to 10 mM reduced membrane diastolic potential (MDP), action-potential amplitude (APA), and the maximum rising velocity of the action-potential upstroke (Vmax). These changes were accompanied by a small shortening of APD90, but with an increase in ERP; i.e., the ERP/APD90 ratio was increased. Dofetilide also significantly lengthened APD90 at 10 mM [K+]o and at each CL. Even at the short cycle lengths (300 and 500 msec), dofetilide-induced increases in APD90 were not attenuated whether [K+]o was at 4 or 10 mM. These results indicate that at various pacing CLs, 10 nM dofetilide increases myocardial APD and ERP to a similar extent without significant reverse use-dependence when the cell membrane is normally polarized or partially depolarized by elevated [K+]o. Dofetilide may, therefore, be expected to be beneficial in the treatment of cardiac tachyarrhythmias related or unrelated to regional myocardial hyperkalemia during myocardial ischemia.
