Acute myocardial ischemia causes TQ depression and ST elevation. However, the effects of cardioprotective drugs such as β-blockers and Ca ++ -antagonists on the extent of TQ depression, ST elevation, and myocardial ischemic injury are not fully understood.We created a carotid-coronary shunt in 30 pigs, and extracellular K + ([K + ] e ), TQ, and ST segments were recorded simultaneously with K + -selective plunge electrodes placed in the left anterior descending artery (LAD) distribution during graded LAD flow reduction before and after administration of propranolol or verapamil. Unipolar DC-coupled electrograms were recorded from the reference pole of the K + -selective plunge electrodes. The microvolt readings from the K + -selective electrodes were converted to [K + ] e and then to the changes in potassium equilibrium potential (ΔE K ). The shunted LAD flow was reduced in a stepwise fashion at 5-minute intervals.segment depression at the similar ΔE K was not affected by propranolol or verapamil. However, ST segment elevation was reduced by propranolol but exacerbated by verapamil at the similar ΔE K .TQ-ST changes recorded by AC coupled ECG are not a reliable index of ischemia and therefore cannot be used to evaluate the effects of drugs that might affect the electrophysiologic properties of ischemic myocardium.
