Repolarization and depolarization abnormalities in AP simulations. (A) Traces showing representative examples of beats with normal APs (solid), EADs (dashed), or depolarization failure (dotted). (B,C) The percentage of uncertainty-input simulations (2,000 total) in which EADs occurred (B) or which had complete depolarization failure (C) is shown as a function of drug concentration in (B,C), respectively. Only results for drugs that had these events at the simulated concentrations (1−25× Cmax) are plotted. (Note that ranolazine had 19 simulations with EADs at 25× Cmax; verapamil only had one instance of depolarization failure occurring at 25× Cmax.) Markers indicate whether simulations with fixed inputs produced normal Aps (circles), EADs (triangles), or depolarization failure (squares).
