Two-dimensional and line-scan analyses of the early phase Ca2+transients in rat cardiomyocytes were performed with a rapid-scanning laser confocal microscope and fluo-3 to elucidate the mechanism of activation of Ca2+release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in atrial myocytes which lack a well developed T-tubular network. On electrical stimulation of ventricular myocytes, Ca2+concentration began to rise earliest at the Z-line level and became uniform throughout the cytoplasm within about 10msec. In contrast, on stimulation of atrial myocytes, the earliest rise in Ca2+occurred at the cell periphery and then spread to the cell interior; cytoplasmic Ca2+became uniform after more than 30msec. The velocity of the propagation of rise in Ca2+was 112 ± 5.1 μm/sec (n=10), which was similar to that of spontaneous Ca2+waves observed in atrial and ventricular myocytes. No difference in frequency, amplitude and kinetics of spontaneous Ca2+sparks was observed between the subsarcolemmal and central regions of atrial myocytes. Ryanodine concentration-dependently decreased the contractile force of isolated rat atrial and ventricular tissue preparations; the sensitivity was higher in atrial myocytes. The present study visualized the involvement of a propagated Ca2+-induced-Ca2+release mechanism in atrial but not ventricular myocytes. This difference may underlie some of the atrio-ventricular difference in response to physiological and pharmacological stimuli.
