Cell contraction and relaxation were measured in single voltage-clamped guinea pig cardiomyocytes to investigate the contribution of sarcolemmal Na+-Ca2+exchange to mechanical relaxation. Cells clamped from -80 to 0 millivolts displayed initial phasic and subsequent tonic contractions; caffeine reduced or abolished the phasic and enlarged the tonic contraction. The rate of relaxation from tonic contractions was steeply voltage-dependent and was significantly slowed in the absence of a sarcolemmal Na+gradient. Tonic contractions elicited in the absence of a Na+gradient promptly relaxed when external Na+was applied, reflecting activation of Na+-Ca2+exchange. It appears that a voltage-dependent Na+-Ca2+exchange can rapidly mechanically relax mammalian heart muscle.
