Abstract

Sevoflurane prolongs ventricular repolarization in patients, but the mechanisms are not fully characterized. The effects of sevoflurane on many cloned human cardiac ion channels have not been studied, and the interactions between sevoflurane and other drugs that prolong cardiac repolarization have not been detailed. The effects of sevoflurane on action potentials and L-type Ca channels in guinea pig myocytes were examined. Sevoflurane's effects on cloned human cardiac K channels and the cloned human cardiac Na channel were studied. The consequences of combining sevoflurane and the class III antiarrhythmic drugs sotalol or dofetilide on action potential duration were also examined. Sevoflurane produced an increase in action potential duration at concentrations of 0.3-1 mm. Contrary to most drugs that delay ventricular repolarization, sevoflurane was without effect on the human ether-a-go-go-related gene cardiac potassium channel but instead produced a reduction in KvLQT1/minK K channel currents and inhibited the Kv4.3 K channel by speeding its apparent rate of inactivation. Sevoflurane had little effect on Na and Ca channel currents at concentrations of 1 mm or less. When the authors coadministered sevoflurane with sotalol or do...Continue Reading

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies 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.
