A method for simultaneously recording His bundle electrograms (HBE), electrocardiograms (ECG), and systolic tensions from intact perfused rat heart preparations is described. This technique was developed for use in ionic, pharmacological, and toxicological studies to determine the effects of chemical agents on myocardial excitability and contractility under controlled conditions. The HBE recording technique using intact isolated perfused rat hearts represents a new method which may be used to study cardiac conduction disturbances and localize them to discrete sites within the cardiac conduction system. Corresponding changes in myocardial contractility also can be determined and correlated with observed electrophysiological alterations. A temporal control study of electrical and mechanical events of these hearts demonstrated the stability of hearts perfused with this method during a 3-hr postequilibrium period. The effects of cadmium (3 × 10−2mm Cd2+) and lead (3 × 10−2mm Pb2+) on myocardial systolic tension and excitability were compared. Both ions significantly depressed systolic tension and prolonged the PR interval of the ECG. Similarly, Cd2+and Pb2+significantly increased A-H and H-V conduction times of the HBE; however, conduction blocks occurred within the A-H interval (atrioventricular nodal depression) in Cd2+-treated hearts and within the H-V interval (His-Purkinje cell depression) of Pb2+-exposed hearts. By combining electrocardiographic, His bundle electrographic and peak systolic contractility analyses, this technique provides the necessary information for evaluating the cardiodepressive effects of toxicological and pharmacological agents, such as cadmium and lead, while localizing their sites of action to specific areas within the cardiac conduction system.
