Aims: Altered ventricular activation (AVA) causes intraventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (MD) and impedes contraction, promoting pro-arrhythmic electrical remodelling in the chronic atrioventricular block (CAVB) dog. We aimed to study arrhythmogenic and electromechanical outcomes of different degrees of AVA.
Methods And Results: Following atrioventricular block, AVA was established through idioventricular rhythm (IVR; n = 29), right ventricular apex (RVA; n = 12) pacing or biventricular pacing [cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT); n = 10].

Introduction: Impaired I induced by drugs or due to a KCNQ1 mutation, diagnosed as long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) prolongs the QT interval and predisposes the heart to Torsade de Pointes (TdP) arrhythmias. The anesthetized chronic AV block (CAVB) dog is inducible for TdP after remodeling and I inhibitor dofetilide. We tested the proarrhythmic effect of I inhibition in the CAVB dog, and the proarrhythmic role of increased contractility herein.

Background And Purpose: HERG blocking drugs known for their propensity to trigger Torsades de Pointes (TdP) were reported to induce a sympatho-vagal coactivation and to enhance High Frequency heart rate (HFHR) and QT oscillations (HFQT) in telemetric data. The present work aimed to characterize the underlying mechanism(s) leading to these autonomic changes.
Experimental Approach: Effects of 15 torsadogenic hERG blocking drugs (astemizole, chlorpromazine, cisapride, droperidol, ibutilide, dofetilide, haloperidol, moxifloxacin, pimozide, quinidine, risperidone, sotalol, sertindole, terfenadine, and thioridazine) were assessed by telemetry in beagle dogs.

Introduction: The anaesthetised guinea pig is a well characterised assay for early assessment of drug effects on ventricular repolarisation and risk of Torsade de Pointes (TdP). We assessed whether a selective hERG blocker with known TdP risk could be differentiated from lower risk, balanced ion channel blockers in the guinea pig, using corrected QT (QTc) interval alongside novel electrocardiogram (ECG) biomarkers J-Tc and T-T. Effects were compared with previous clinical investigations at similar plasma concentrations and with another index of TdP risk, the electromechanical window (EMW).

Background: Prior epidemiological studies demonstrated that the p.D85N-Potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily E member 1 (KCNE1) common variant reduces repolarization reserve and predisposes to drug-induced QT prolongation/torsades de pointes. We sought to develop a cellular model for drug-induced long QT syndrome using a patient-specific induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocyte (iPSC-CM).
