Endothelins have been reported to exert a wide range of electrophysiological effects in mammalian cardiac cells. These results are controversial and human data are not available. Our aim was to study the effects of endothelin-l (ET-1, 8 nmol/l) on the L-type calcium current (ICa-L) and various potassium currents (rapid component of the delayed rectifier, I-Kr; transient outward current, I-to; and the inward rectifier K current, I-K1) in isolated human ventricular cardiomyocytes. Cells were obtained from undiseased donor hearts using collagenase digestion via the segment perfusion technique. The whole-cell configuration of the patch-clamp technique was applied to measure ionic currents at 37 degreesC. ET-1 significantly decreased peak I-Ca,I-L from 10.2+/-0.6 to 6.8+/-0.8 pA/pF at +5 mV (66.7% of control, P
