Augmented and slowed late Na+ current (I-NaL) is implicated in action potential duration variability, early afterdepolarizations, and abnormal Ca2+ handling in human and canine failing myocardium. Our objective was to study INaL modulation by cytosolic Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)) in normal and failing ventricular myocytes. Chronic heart failure was produced in 10 dogs by multiple sequential coronary artery microembolizations; 6 normal dogs served as a control. INaL fine structure was measured by whole cell patch clamp in ventricular myocytes and approximated by a sum of fast and slow exponentials produced by burst and late scattered modes of Na+ channel gating, respectively. I-NaL greatly enhanced as [Ca2+](i) increased from "Ca2+ free" to 1 mu M: its maximum density increased, decay of both exponentials slowed, and the steady-state inactivation (SSI) curve shifted toward more positive potentials. Testing the inhibition of CaMKII and CaM revealed similarities and differences of I-NaL modulation in failing vs. normal myocytes. Similarities include the following: 1) CaMKII slows I-NaL decay and decreases the amplitude of fast exponentials, and 2) Ca2+ shifts SSI rightward. Differences include the following: 1) slowing of I-NaL by CaMKII is greater, 2) CaM shifts SSI leftward, and 3) Ca2+ increases the amplitude of slow exponentials. We conclude that Ca2+/CaM/CaMKII signaling increases I-NaL and Na+ influx in both normal and failing myocytes by slowing inactivation kinetics and shifting SSI. This Na+ influx provides a novel Ca2+ positive feedback mechanism (via Na+/Ca2+ exchanger), enhancing contractions at higher beating rates but worsening cardiomyocyte contractile and electrical performance in conditions of poor Ca2+ handling in heart failure.
