Although the arrhythmogenic effects of interferon (IF) have been reported in clinical practice, the experimental data are limited. Therefore, these effects were investigated in in vivo and Langendorff-perfusion studies using 3 different groups of rats (ie, control, aorta-banded, and deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertension groups) in the presence or absence of isoproterenol. In the perfusion study, human recombinant IF-alpha (&lt; or =15,000 U/ml) alone induced irreversible atrioventricular blockade in all groups, whereas this agent (&lt; or =1,500 U/ml) caused negative inotropism and ventricular tachyarrhythmias (arrhythmic score greater in the order of DOCA-salt&gt;aorta-banded = control group) in the preparations pretreated with isoproterenol (10(-9) mol/L). In an in vivo study, IF-alpha (6x10(6) U/kg) resulted in ventricular tachyarrhythmias only in the presence of isoproterenol (10 mg/kg), as in the perfusion study (arrhythmic score; DOCA-salt&gt;aorta-banded&gt;control). In conclusion, the arrhythmogenesis of IF-alpha is potentiated in pathophysiological conditions such as cardiac hypertrophy or elevated sympathetic activity.
