Catecholamines are known to provoke cardiac arrhythmias, but important aspects such as localization of the arrhythmia source in multicellular tissue and exact ionic mechanisms are not well-known. In this work, a multicellular model of arrhythmias caused by local epinephrine application was developed;Vmand Cai2+changes at the arrhythmia source were measured using fluorescent dyes and high-resolution optical mapping. Cultured strands of neonatal rat myocytes (width ~0.4 mm) were produced by patterned growth. Epinephrine (1 μmol/l) was applied over an area of 0.3–0.6 mm via two micropipettes, and strands were stimulated by burst pacing. Local epinephrine application caused triggered arrhythmias with cycle lengths of 202–379 ms and duration of >10 s in 9 out of 16 preparations. OpticalVmmapping demonstrated that in 78% of cases, the source of arrhythmia was located at the boundary of the locally perfused area. Staining with Cai2+-sensitive dye Fluo-4 prevented arrhythmia induction in most cases (85%) likely due to Ca2+buffering by the dye. Optical Cai2+mapping revealed non-propagated Cai2+oscillations at the boundary of the locally perfused area in 45% cases. In conclusion, we developed a new model of catecholamine-dependent arrhythmias allowing mapping ofVmand Cai2+at the arrhythmia source with microscopic resolution. The arrhythmias typically originated from the boundary of the epinephrine-perfused area. The location of the arrhythmia source correlated with localized Cai2+oscillations suggesting that arrhythmias were caused by Cai2+overload at these locations.
