We have examined slow inactivation of L-type calcium current in canine Purkinje myocytes with the whole cell patch clamp technique. Slow inactivation is voltage dependent. It is negligible at-50 mV but can inactivate more than half of available icaL at-10 inV. There are two major consequences of this slow inactivation. First, standard protocols for the measurement of T-type current can dramatically overestimate its contribution to total calcium current, and second, the position and steepness of the inactivation versus voltage curve for iCaL will depend on the method of measurement. Given the widespread attempts to identify calcium current components and characterize them biophysically, an important first step should be to determine the extent of slow inactivation of calcium current in each preparation.
