By the monophasic action potential （MAP） recording technique, MAPs of epicardium, midmyocardium and endocardium were simultaneously recorded across the left ventricular free wall in rabbit hearts perfused by low-flow ischemia （2. 5 mL/min） in Langendorff method to study the transmural dispcrsion of repolarization （TDR） and arrhythmic induced by ischemia.Our results showed that TDR of three myocardial layers in ischemia group were significantly lengthened after ischemia. TDR was increased from 17.5±3.9 ms to 31.2±4.6 ms at the time that concided with the onset of sustained ventricle arrhythmic. Amiodarone could decrease TDR, but lidocaine could increase TDR at initial ischemia, and no significant difference was found at other ischemia time points. 5 cases had ventriclar arrhythmia in ischemia group （62. 5%）, but no case in lidocaine group （P〈0.01） and only 1 case in amiodarone group had ventrilar arrhythmia （P〈 0.01）. No significant difference was found between amiodarone group and lidocaine group. It is concluded that TDR of of three myocardial layers increases significantly at ischemia and it is closely associated with development of ventricular arrhythmia, and amiodarone could decrease TDR, but lidocaine could increase TDR at initial ischemia and has no effects at other ischemia time points.展开更多
