Abstract
Both dilated (DCM) and ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) are associated with action potential (AP) prolongation due to ionic remodeling. In humans, AP prolongation is more pronounced in myocytes isolated from explanted DCM than ICM hearts. However, there is a large variability due to confounding factors, including age, sex, concomitant disease, drug treatment, and progression of the disease at the time of heart transplantation. Here, we investigated the etiology-dependency of ionic remodeling in standardized rabbit models of ICM and DCM. ICM and DCM were induced by chronic infarction or combined volume and pressure overload, respectively. APs and membrane currents were measured using patch-clamp methodology. Both ICM and DCM caused hypertrophy, but this hypertrophy was more prominent in DCM rabbits that also developed heart failure (DCM(F)), as revealed by the presence of ascites. Animals of either model showed AP prolongation. While the AP prolongation was similar by the same degree of hypertrophy, AP prolongation in DCM(F) was more pronounced. In all models, L-type Ca(2+) current, inward rectifier K(+) current, and rapid delayed rectifier K(+) current were unaltered, but the transient outward K(+) current (I(to 1)) density was si...Continue Reading
