Abstract

Arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3)) has been found to be effective for relapsed or refractory acute promyelocytic leukaemia, but its clinical use is burdened by QT prolongation, Torsade de pointes tachycardias, and sudden cardiac death. The aim of the present study was to elucidate the ionic mechanisms of As(2)O(3)-induced abnormalities of cardiac electrophysiology and the therapeutic action of choline on As(2)O(3)-caused QT prolongation in guinea pig. Intravenous administration of As(2)O(3) prolonged the QT interval in a dose- and time-dependent manner in guinea pig hearts, and the QT prolongation could be modulated by choline. By using whole-cell patch clamp technique and confocal laser scanning microscopy, we found that As(2)O(3) significantly lengthened action potential duration measured at 50 and 90% of repolarization, enhanced L-type calcium currents (I(Ca-L)), inhibited delayed rectifier potassium currents (I(K)), and increased intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)) in guinea pig ventricular myocytes. Choline corrected As(2)O(3)-mediated alterations of action potential duration, I(Ca-L) and [Ca(2+)](i), but had no effect on the I(K) inhibition. As(2)O(3) markedly disturbed the normal equilibrium of transmembrane curr...Continue Reading

Cardiac Electrophysiology

Cardiac electrophysiology is the study of electrical activities of the heart and includes the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of cardiac events. Find the latest research on cardiac electrophysiology here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
