Abstract

Abstract —A tetrodotoxin-sensitive persistent sodium current, I pNa , was found in guinea pig ventricular myocytes by whole-cell patch clamping. This current was characterized in cells derived from the basal left ventricular subendocardium, midmyocardium, and subepicardium. Midmyocardial cells show a statistically significant ( P <0.05) smaller I pNa than subendocardial and subepicardial myocytes. There was no significant difference in I pNa current density between subepicardial and subendocardial cells. Computer modeling studies support a role of this current in the dispersion of action potential duration across the ventricular wall.
