Background. ATP-sensitive K+ channels are activated when the myocardium becomes ischemic. However, the role of the ATP-sensitive K+ current in the emergence of ECG ST changes during ischemia remained unclarified.Methods and Results. The left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) was cannulated and perfused with arterial blood from the carotid artery through a bypass tube in 8 anesthetized, open-chest dogs. An array of 60 unipolar electrodes mounted on a sock was used to record epicardial electrograms of the whole heart. Pinacidil (10 mug . kg-1 . min-1), an ATP-sensitive K+ channel opener, was infused into the bypass tube for 2 minutes, and the electrograms were recorded before and after the infusion. The elevation of the ST segment and the increase of QRST area were observed spatially over the LAD-perfused region. At the electrode showing the largest ST segment elevation, the activation recovery interval, an index of action potential duration, was shortened from 202+/-9 to 111+/-18 milliseconds (P
