Abstract:
A computational model of the human left-ventricular epicardial myocyte is
presented. Models of each of the major ionic currents present in these cells are
formulated and validated using experimental data obtained from studies of
recombinant human ion channels and/or whole-cell recording from single myocytes
isolated from human left-ventricular subepicardium. Continuous-time Markov chain
models for the gating of the fast Na(+) current, transient outward current,
rapid component of the delayed rectifier current, and the L-type calcium current
are modified to represent human data at physiological temperature. A new model
for the gating of the slow component of the delayed rectifier current is
formulated and validated against experimental data. Properties of calcium
handling and exchanger currents are altered to appropriately represent the
dynamics of intracellular ion concentrations. The model is able to both
reproduce and predict a wide range of behaviors observed experimentally
including action potential morphology, ionic currents, intracellular calcium
transients, frequency dependence of action-potential duration, Ca(2+)-frequency
relations, and extrasystolic restitution/post-extrasystolic potentiation. The
model therefore serves as a useful tool for investigating mechanisms of
arrhythmia and consequences of drug-channel interactions in the human
left-ventricular myocyte.
