The purpose of this study was to determine the anisotropic effects of sodium channel blockers on wavelength (WL) and proarrhythmia. In 18 anesthetized, open chest dogs, a 64-electrode array was placed on the left ventricle and the ventricle was constantly paced. Disopyramide, lidocaine or flecainide was intracoronarily administered. Conduction velocity (θ) and activation--recovery interval (ARI) were measured in the longitudinal (L) and transverse (T) directions. Flecainide markedly decreased θL, but did not alter θT or ARIs in either direction. As a result, the wavelength was significantly shortened only in the L direction. Disopyramide or lidocaine did not show direction-dependent effects on θ or WL. In 3 of 6 dogs with flecainide exposure, ventricular fibrillation (VF) developed. However, no VF occurred with disopyramide or lidocaine. Accordingly, the WL is dependent on the fiber orientation of myocardium. The anisotropic shortening of the WL may explain the character of the proarrhythmia observed with flecainide.
