The role of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) in controlling the availability of Ca++ slow channels in the heart is often overlooked. The purpose of this article is to briefly review and summarize some of the important properties of the myocardial slow channels, particularly their regulation by cyclic AMP. In addition, the slow action potentials (APs), the mechanisms of action of the calcium antagonistic drugs, and the possible role of slow APs in cardiac arrhythmias will be discussed briefly. The force of contraction of the heart is controlled by the Ca++ influx across the cell membrane during the AP, in the process of excitation-contraction coupling. This Ca++ influx occurs through the voltage-dependent and time-dependent gated slow channels of the cell membrane. There are other types of voltage-dependent channels, including fast Nat channels and several types of K+ channels. Each type of ionic channel is a specific protein that floats in the lipid bilayer matrix of the cell membrane, with a water-filled central pore for ion passage. A cation passing through its ion-selective channel probably binds to two or three negatively charged sites on its journey through the channel down its electrochemical (electrical plus concentration) gradient. The fast Nat channels and the slow channels have a central activation (A, m, or d) gate and an inactivation (I, h, or f) gate at the inner surface of the membrane.
