Abstract
The chronic complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) dog is highly sensitive for drug-induced torsade de pointes (TdP) arrhythmias. Focal mechanisms have been suggested as trigger for TdP onset; however, its exact mechanism remains unclear. In this study, detailed mapping of the ventricles was performed to assess intraventricular heterogeneity of repolarization in relation to the initiation of TdP. In 8 CAVB animals, 56 needles, each containing 4 electrodes, were inserted in the ventricles. During right ventricular apex pacing (cycle length: 1000-1500 ms), local unipolar electrograms were recorded before and after administration of dofetilide to determine activation and repolarization times (RTs). Maximal RT differences were calculated in the left ventricle (LV) within adjacent electrodes in different orientations (transmural, vertical, and horizontal) and within a square of four needles (cubic dispersion). Dofetilide induced TdP in five out of eight animals. Right ventricle-LV was similar between inducible and non-inducible dogs at baseline (327 ± 30 vs. 345 ± 17 ms) and after dofetilide administration (525 ± 95 vs. 508 ± 15 ms). All measurements of intraventricular dispersion were not different at baseline, but this changed for...Continue Reading
