1 Halothane has been shown to affect several membrane currents in cardiac tissue including the L-type calcium current (I-Ca), sodium current and a variety of potassium currents. However, little is known about the effects of halothane on the transient outward K+ current (I-to).2 Single ventricular myocytes from rat hearts were voltage clamped using the whole cell patch configuration and an EGTA-containing pipette solution to record the Ca2+-independent, 4-aminopyridine sensitive component of I-to. 300 mu M Cd2+ or 10 mu M nifedipine was used to block I-Ca.3 At +80 mV, I-to (peak current minus current at the end of the pulse) was 1.8+/-0.2 nA under control conditions which was reduced to 1.3+/-0.2 nA by 1 mM halothane (P
