Popis: Hypothyroidism is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and enhanced susceptibility to arrhythmias. In our investigation, we evaluated the potential involvement of late sodium current (IMale Swiss mice were treated with methimazole (0.1 % w/vol, during 21 days) to induce experimental hypothyroidism before ECG, action potential (AP) and intracellular CaThe results revealed that hypothyroid animals presented ECG alterations (e.g. increased QTc) with the presence of spontaneous sustained ventricular tachycardia. These changes were associated with depolarized resting membrane potential in isolated cardiomyocytes and increased AP duration and dispersion at 90 % of the repolarization. Aberrant AP waveforms were related to increased CaWe concluded that animals with hypothyroidism have increased susceptibility to developing arrhythmias and ranolazine, a clinically used blocker of I
