Pacing-induced heart failure in the dog recapitulates many of the electrophysiological and hemodynamic abnormalities of the human disease; however, the mechanisms underlying altered Ca2+ handling have not been investigated in this model. We now show that left ventricular midmyocardial myocytes isolated from dogs subjected to 3 to 4 weeks of rapid pacing have prolonged action potentials and Ca2+ transients with reduced peaks, but durations approximate to 3-fold longer than controls. To discriminate between action potential effects an Ca2+ kinetics and direct changes in Ca2+ regulatory processes, voltage-clamp steps were used to examine the time constant for cytosolic Ca2+ removal (tau(Ca)). tau Ca was prolonged by just 35% in myocytes from failing hearts after fixed voltage steps in physiological solutions (tau(Ca) control, 216+/-25 ms, n=17; tau(Ca) failing, 292+/-23 ms, n=22; P
