Objective: To compare the properties of single myocytes isolated from different layers of the basal region of the left ventricle and to test the hypothesis that differences in the delayed rectifier current (I-k) contribute to regional differences in action potential duration. Methods: Myocytes were isolated from basal sub-endocardial, mid-myocardial and sub-epicardial layers of the guinea-pig left ventricle. Membrane voltage and current were measured using the switch-clamp technique. Results: Mean action potential duration measured at 90% repolarisation (APD(90)) was longer in sub-endocardial myocytes than in mid-myocardial and sub-epicardial myocytes [APD(90) ms at 0.2 Hz: sub-endocardial 292 +/- 12 (n = 40), mid-myocardial 243 +/- 8 (n = 42) and sub-epicardial 227 +/- 9 (n = 36), P
