Effects of KN93 (0.1 μM) and ranolazine (0.1 μM) on ouabain-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT). (A) Upper and middle panels show the examples of ouabain (1 μM)-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT) in right ventricular apex (RVA) and right ventricular out-flow tract (RVOT). The lower panels show that ouabain (1 μM) induced higher incidences of total or sustained VT with a faster beating rates in the RVOT (n = 18) than in the RVA (n = 18). (B) Upper and middle panels show the examples that KN93 (0.1 μM) or ranolazine (0.1 μM) can terminate ouabain (1 μM)-induced sustained VT in RVOT preparations. Lower panels show that the superfusing time was longer for KN-93 (but not for ranolazine) to terminate ouabain-induced ventricular arrhythmias in the RVOT (n = 5) than in the RVA (n = 4). Arrows (↑) indicate electrical stimuli. *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.005 versus RVOT.
