Morphologically intact single myocardial cells of the adult mouse show a length of 132 .+-. 20 .mu.m, a width of 21 .+-. 5 .mu.m, and a height of 10 .+-. 4 .mu.m (all mean .+-. SD) and are brick-like in shape. A 1 suction pipette method is used for voltage clamp of those single cells. The determined time constant of capacitive current .tau. = 35 .+-. 14 .mu.s is very short. Series resistance rs, membrane resistance rm, and membrane capacity cm are calculated to be 192 .+-. 48 k.OMEGA., 6.1 .+-. 11 M.OMEGA., and 186 .+-. 92 pF (all mean .+-. SD), respectively. Assuming the specific unit membrane capacitance of 1 .mu.F/cm2, a total membrane area of 1.86 .times. 10-4 cm2 is determined yielding a specific membrane resistance Rm of 1,134 .OMEGA.cm2. Settling time of voltage clamp is 30 .mu.s. TTX[tetradotoxin]-block of Na current is described by 1:1 binding with a KD value of 1.4 .times. 10-6 M. Using a reduced extracellular sodium concentration the maximum Na current is between 25 and 40 nA at voltages between -40 and -30 mV. Currents of between +20 and +30 mV reverse in an outward direction. Inward currents are approximated by a m3h model. The time constant of activation decreases from 0.7 ms at -60 mV to 0.12 ms at +20 mV. The time constant of inactivation falls from 9.1 ms at -60 mV to 0.6 ms at +20 mV. Steady state inactivation h.infin. is characterized by the half maximum value VH = 76.1 .+-. 4.3 mV and the slope parameter s = 6.3 .+-. 1.1 mV (mean .+-. SD). A prepulse duration of 500 ms is essential for real steady state inactivation. Steady state activation m.infin. and inactivation h.infin. overlap each other defining a maximum window current at -65 mV.
