Pronounced Effects of HERG-Blockers E-4031 and Erythromycin on APD, Spatial APD Dispersion and Triangulation in Transgenic Long-QT Type 1 Rabbits

-blocking properties of drugs.-blockers E-4031 (0.001–0.1 µM, n = 9/7) or erythromycin (1–300 µM, n = 9/7) and APD, APD dispersion, and triangulation were analyzed.At baseline, APD was longer in LQT1 than in LMC rabbits in LV apex and RV mid. Erythromycin and E-4031 prolonged APD in LQT1 and LMC rabbits in all positions. However, erythromycin-induced percentaged APD prolongation related to baseline (%APD) was more pronounced in LQT1 at LV base-lateral and RV mid positions (100 µM, LQT1, +40.6±9.7% vs. LMC, +24.1±10.0%, p<0.05) and E-4031-induced %APD prolongation was more pronounced in LQT1 at LV base-lateral (0.01 µM, LQT1, +29.6±10.6% vs. LMC, +19.1±3.8%, p
