AbstractThe mechanism of action potential abbreviation caused by increasing rate in human ventricular myocytes is unknown. The present study was designed to determine the potential role of Ca2+ current (I(Ca)) in the rate-dependent changes in action potential duration (APD) in human ventricular cells. Myocytes isolated from the right ventricle of explanted human hearts were studied at 36°C with whole cell voltage and current-clamp techniques. APD at 90% repolarization decreased by 36 ± 4% when frequency increased from 0.5 to 2 Hz. Equimolar substitution of Mg2+ for Ca2+ significantly decreased rate-dependent changes in APD (to 6 ± 3%, P < 0.01). Peak I(Ca) was decreased by 34 ± 3% from 0.5 to 2 Hz (P < 0.01), and I(Ca) had recovery time constants of 65 ± 12 and 683 ± 39 ms at -80 mV. Action potential clamp demonstrated a decreasing contribution of I(Ca) during the action potential as rate increased. The rate-dependent slow component of the delayed rectifier K+ current (I(Ks)) was not observed in four cells with an increase in frequency from 0.5 to 3.3 Hz, perhaps because the I(Ks) is so small that the increase at a high rate could not be seen. These results suggest that reduction of Ca2+ influx during the action potential accounts for most of the rate-dependent abbreviation of human ventricular APD.
