The objective of this study was to describe the kinetics of voltage-dependent inactivation of native cardiac L-type Ca2+ currents. Whole-cell currents were recorded from guinea-pig isolated ventricular myocytes. Voltage-dependent inactivation was separated from Ca2+-dependent inactivation by replacing extracellular Ca2+ with Mg2+ and recording outward currents through Ca2+ channels. Voltage-dependent inactivation accelerated from slow monophasic decay at -30 mV to maximal rapid biphasic decay at +20 mV. Maximal voltage-dependent inactivation occurred with tau(f) similar to30 ms and tau(s) similar to300 ms, the fast component of decay accounted for 70% of the current amplitude. In basal conditions Ca2+ current availability was sigmoid. Isoproterenol (isoprenaline) evoked a large increase in a time-independent component of the Ca2+ current which also increased with depolarisation. This was responsible for the apparent recovery of Ca2+ channel current availability at positive membrane potentials and thus a U-shaped availability-voltage (A-V) relationship. It is concluded that, beta-adrenergic stimulation altered the reaction of native cardiac L-type Ca2+ channels to membrane voltage. In basal conditions, voltage accelerated inactivation. In isoproterenol, voltage could also reduce inactivation.
