Simulations showing that GS-458967 can effectively reduce spatial APD dispersion caused by ATX-II. (A) Space-time plots of membrane potential (top) and pseudo ECGs (lower) computed from a 165-rabbit myocyte transmural cardiac preparation in the presence of ATX-II during a “short-long-short” pacing protocol. (B) 0.03 μM GS-458967 markedly diminishes QT interval prolongation and APD dispersion as indicated by reduced T-wave amplitude. (C) 0.1 μM GS-458967 further reduced QT interval prolongation and reversed the repolarization gradient as demonstrated by inversion of the T-wave.
