The effects of halothane on cat papillary muscle were studied in vitro at different pacing rates (60, 75, 100, and 150 beats/min). Simultaneous measurements of transmembrane potential, intracellular Ca2+ transients, and isometric tension were made before and after introduction of 1 and 2 minimal alveolar concentration halothane. Anesthetic concentrations in the superfusion bath were measured using a gas chromatography procedure. The Ca2+-sensitive photoprotein, aequorin, was microinjected into papillary muscle cells. Aequorin light emission is a function of free intracellular [Ca2+] ([Ca2+]i). The most prominent effects of halothane were a dose-dependent decrease in the contractile force and a decrease in [Ca2+]i, at all pacing rates. The negative inotropic effect of halothane was associated with only small changes in the papillary muscle action potential duration. Increasing the extracellular [Ca2+] produced an increase in [Ca2+]i and counteracted the negative inotropic effects of halothane. Addition of the Ca2+ channel blocker, verapamil, and halothane, produced an additive decrease in [Ca2+]i compared with the control.
