The analysis of the electrical properties and response to catecholamines of cardiac tissue is greatly simplified by the use of single cell preparations. In this study individual cells isolated from human ventricular tissue were used to estimate cellular sarcolemmal resistance and capacitance and to record the time course of the response to ionophoretically applied noradrenaline. The mean input capacitance of the cells is consistent with a surface membrane area of approximately 15000 μm2if the specific membrane capacitance is 1 μF·cm−2. This is larger than might be expected from the measured external dimensions of the cell and is compatible with the presence of surface membrane infoldings and caveolae. At membrane potentials close to −75 mV the mean cell input resistance was approximately 40 MΩ, giving a specific membrane resistance of 6 kΩ·cm2if mean membrane area is 15000 μm2and consistent with the assumption that the isolated cells have sealed intercalated discs under the experimental conditions used. Ionophoretically applied noradrenaline produced a pronounced prolongation of the plateau phase of the action potential, but this effect developed over many seconds. The slow onset of action is not compatible with the kinetics of free extracellular diffusion of catecholamine but may reflect molecular events that occur between noradrenaline binding to membrane receptors and the final cellular response. Under voltage-clamp conditions, the cells showed a time dependent inward current consistent with the rapid activation and decay of a sarcolemmal calcium conductance.
