Effects of the Inhibition of Late Sodium Current by GS967 on Stretch-Induced Changes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy

Abstract

Mechanical stretch increases sodium and calcium entry into myocytes and activates the late sodium current. GS967, a triazolopyridine derivative, is a sodium channel blocker with preferential effects on the late sodium current. The present study evaluates whether GS967 inhibits or modulates the arrhythmogenic electrophysiological effects of myocardial stretch. Atrial and ventricular refractoriness and ventricular fibrillation modifications induced by acute stretch were studied in Langendorff-perfused rabbit hearts (n = 28) using epicardial multiple electrodes and high-resolution mapping techniques under control conditions and during the perfusion of GS967 at different concentrations (0.03, 0.1, and 0.3 μM). On comparing ventricular refractoriness, conduction velocity and wavelength obtained before stretch had no significant changes under each GS967 concentration while atrial refractoriness increased under GS967 0.3 μM. Under GS967, the stretch-induced changes were attenuated, and no significant differences were observed between before and during stretch. GS967 0.3 μM diminished the normal stretch-induced changes resulting in longer (less shortened) atrial refractoriness (138 ± 26 ms vs 95 ± 9 ms; p < 0.01), ventricular refractor...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.

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

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.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.
