    Summary

    Spontaneous action potentials (SAP) in canine heart muscle depend on calcium and sodium currents. These cardiac electrical activities are modulated by ion channel function and neurotransmitters.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Physiology
    • Cardiac Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • Spontaneous action potentials (SAP) are crucial for cardiac rhythm.
    • Understanding the ionic mechanisms underlying SAP is vital for treating arrhythmias.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the ionic basis of repetitive spontaneous action potentials (SAP) in canine ventricular and atrial muscle.
    • To determine the role of specific ion currents and neurotransmitters in modulating cardiac automaticity.

    Main Methods:

    • Induction of SAP in canine ventricular and atrial muscle preparations.
    • Pharmacological manipulation using verapamil, Mn2+, diltiazem, tetrodotoxin, acetylcholine, and atropine.
    • Assessment of ion channel currents, including Ca2+, Na+, and K+ currents, and their impact on SAP.

    Main Results:

    • SAP induction was voltage-dependent, occurring between -60 mV and 0 mV.
    • SAP were dependent on slow inward Ca2+ and Na+ currents, suppressed by verapamil, Mn2+, and diltiazem, but not tetrodotoxin.
    • Increased extracellular potassium and acetylcholine (in atrial muscle) suppressed SAP, effects antagonized by atropine.

    Conclusions:

    • Cardiac automaticity is driven by slow inward Ca2+ and Na+ currents, modulated by altered K+ currents.
    • Neurotransmitter actions on SAP differ between atrial and ventricular tissues, highlighting regional electrophysiological differences.
