[Changes in transmembrane action potentials and monophasic action potentials of phase 3 intraventricular block in rabbits].
The model of phase 3 intraventricular block was produced in 10 rabbits by giving 2.5% solution of potassium chloride intravenously under natural breathing and sinus rhythm. Transmembrane action potentials and monophasic action potentials were recorded respectively. The results showed that RP, APA, Vmax, MAPA and MVmax all decreased and both APD and MAPD shortened at the time of ventricular conduction block, when ventricular conduction was improved by vagal stimulation, RP, APA, Vmax, MAPA and MVmax all increased and both APD and MAPD lengthened. In addition, APD and MAPD measured at the same site in normal conduction, conduction block and conduction improved by vagal stimulation were in consensus.
