摘要: Background—Lengthening of the QT interval and torsades de pointes resulting in cardiac arrests deaths have been noticed during treatment with cisapride, a newly developed gastrointestinal prokinetic agent. The rapid (IKr) slow (IKs) components delayed rectifier current (IK) are candidate ionic currents to explain cisapride-related toxicity because their role repolarization ventricular myocytes. Our objectives were (1) characterize effects cisapride on two major time-dependent outward potassium involved myocytes, IKr IKs, (2) determine action potential–prolonging isolated hearts. Methods Results—A first set experiments was performed guinea pig myocytes whole-cell configuration patch-clamp technique. Cells held at −40 mV while elicited by depolarizing pulses lasting either 250 ms (IK250) or 5000 ms...
