The purpose of this study was to investigate the different effects of ACh on the action potential and force contraction in guinea pig atrial and ventricular myocardium by using standard microelectrodes and force transducer. The results showed that the duration of the action potential (APD) of atrial myocardium was shortened from 208.57+/-36.05 to 101.78+/-14.41 ms (n=6, P<0.01), and the APD of the ventricular myocardium was shortened from 286.73+/-36.11 to 265.16+/-30.06 ms (n=6, P<0.01).The amplitude of the action potential (APA) of the atrial myocardium was decreased from 88.00+/-9.35 to 62.62+/-20.50 mV (n=6, P<0.01), while the APA of the ventricular myocardium did not change significantly.The force contraction of atrial myocardium was inhibited completely (n=6, P<0.01), while the force contraction of ventricular myocardium was inhibited by 37.57+/-2.58% (n=6, P<0.01). The ACh effects correlated with its concentration. The K(D) of the APD shortening effects in the atrial and ventricular myocardium were 0.275 and 0.575 micromol/L. The K(D) of the negative inotropic in the atrial and ventricular myocardium were 0.135 and 0.676 micromol/L, respectively. The corresponding data points were compared using t test between the atrial and ventricular myocardium, and the differences were significant when the ACh concentration was above 10 nmol/L. Furthermore, atropine (10 micromol/L) and CsCl (20 mmol/L) blocked the effects of 10 micromol/L ACh on the APD of ventricular myocardium, while CdCl2 (0.1 mmol/L) had no influence on these effects. In conclusion, ACh could shorten the action potential duration and inhibit the force contraction of atrial and ventricular myocardium in a concentration-dependent manner. There are differences in the effects of ACh on the atrial and ventricular myocardium. The atrial myocardium is more sensitive to ACh than the ventricular myocardium. It is probable that the muscarinic receptor and the potassium channel, but not the calcium channel, are involved in the ACh-induced shortening of the ventricular APD.
