Chan Uhng Joo, Young Jae Kim, Sung Ki Mun, Soo Wan Chae
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1999;42(7):953-958.   Published online July 15, 1999
Purpose : Cisapride(PrepulsidⓇ) has been recently associated with long QT syndrome. It has been reported to cause Torsades de Pointes and induce early afterdepolarization in rabbit Purkinje fibers. We investigated the electrophysiological effects of cisapride on cardiac action potential duration and ATP-sensitive K channel in papillary muscles. Methods : Cardiac action potentials in guinea pig papillary muscle were recorded with microelectrodes...
Effects of Adriamycin on Membrane Potential and Intracellular Sodium Activity in Canine Purkinje fibers
Chan Uhng Joo, Soo Wan Chae

Anthracycline antibiotic adriamycin (doxorubicin) is presently considered to be a very effective chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of many human tumors. Adriamycin induced cardiomyopathy limits its clincal use. A number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism of cardiotoxicity with adriamycin, but none has yet been demonstrated. The effects of adriamycin on membrane potential and intracellular sodium ion...

The antiumor antibiotic adriamycin is presently considered to be a very effctive and useful chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of many human tumors. Cardiotoxicity of adriamycin limits its clinical use. A number of hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism of cardiotox- icity with adriamycin, but none has yet been demonstrated.
