Background Left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) is associated with an increased risk of death, vulnerability to ventricular arrhythmia, and multiple electrophysiological abnormalities.Objectives The purpose of the present study was to determine the gender-dependent differences in electrical remodeling and the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias in a rabbit model of renovascular hypertension.Methods Rabbits of both sexes underwent unilateral renal artery banding and contralateral nephrectomy or were placed in the control group. Data are expressed as mean +/- standard error of the mean.Results The duration of action potentials was prolonged in the LVH group compared with the control group in both mate (123 +/- 2.4 ms and 151 +/- 2.3 ms vs. 180 +/- 5.1 ms and 196 +/- 3.1 ms for action potential duration [APD](90 Epi) and APD(90 Endo) of control [n=5] and LVH rabbits [n=8], respectively; P
