The aim of this study was to characterize the role of the late Na+ Current (I-Na,I-L) as a mechanism for induction of both tachy and bradyarrhythmias in murine heart and sino-atrial node tissue. The sea anemone toxin ATX-II and ranolazine were used to increase and inhibit, respectively, IN I-Na,I-L In sixteen hearts studied. exposure to 1-10 nM ATX-II Caused a slowing of intrinsic heart Late and prolongations of the P-R and QT intervals, the duration of the monophasic action potential, and the sinus node recovery time, accompanied by frequent Occurrences of early afterdepolarisations, delayed afterdepolarisations and rapid, repetitive ventricular tachy and sino-atrial bradyarrhythmias. ATX-II also slowed sinus node pacemaking, and induced bradycardic arrhythmias in isolated sino-atrial preparations (n = 5). The ATX-II-incluced alteration of electrophysiological properties and Occurrence of arrhythmic events were significantly attenuated by 10 IN ranolazine in intact hearts (n = 11) and isolated sino-atrial preparations (n = 5). In conclusion, the I-Na,I-L enhancer ATX-II causes both tachy and bradyarrhythmias in the murine heart, and these arrhythmias are markedly attenuated by the I-Na,I-L blocker, ranolazine (10 mu M). The results suggest that I-Na,I-L blockade may be the mechanism underlying the reductions of both brady and tachy-arrhythmias by ranolazine that were observed during the MERLIN-TIMI Clinical outcomes trial.
