Electrical restitution of action potential duration (APD) was determined in Purkinje (n = 8) and ventricular muscle (n = 6) fibers at 2 different basic cycle lengths (BCL, 1500 and 500 ms). Restitution curves, normalized for the longest APD (the plateau of restitution), fitted the sum of a fast (T1) and a slow (T2) exponential component. The T1 was shorter in ventricular muscle than Purkinje fibers (89 .+-. 5 and 143 .+-. 9; mean .+-. SE, P < 0.05), whereas the T2 did not differ (1448 .+-. 231 and 1439 .+-. 211). The BCL altered the APD value during the plateau of restitution but did not change the 2 exponential components. In both fiber types, the relation between APD and BCL during steady state fitted a hyperbolic curve that predicts the achievement of the maximum APD at long BCL. The restitution curves crossed the steady-state curve at 2 points outlining 3 different zones of APD intervals: early premature, late premature, and postmature. The APD during restitution was longer than the steady state in the late premature zone and shorter than the steady-state APD in the post-mature and early premature zones. The APD per se, independent of BCL, did not influence the kinetics of restitution in Purkinje fibers.
