Abstract | The QT interval has well-documented shortcomings as a predictor of Torsades de Pointes (TdP) and recent studies have shown that T-wave morphology might provide insight into drug effects on ventricular repolarisation. In this paper, we investigate the underlying mechanisms of the effects of sotalol, a known anti-arrhythmic drug, on T-wave morphology as seen in the surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Analysis of clinical ECG data from a controlled study shows that sotalol alters T-wave morphology, resulting in particular in a decrease in T-wave amplitude. Our multi-scale modelling approach uses a Markov formulation to represent sotalolpsilas interaction with the rapid delayed rectifier potassium channel current $(I_{Kr}),$ validated using experimental data. The ion channel model is then incorporated into a human ventricular cell model, which is then used in a 1D fibre model with transmural heterogeneities to simulate a pseudo-ECG. The simulation results show sotalol-induced changes in $I_{Kr}$ cause rate and dose-dependent increase in action potential duration (APD) and in transmural APD heterogeneities, which result in a decrease of T-wave amplitude and an increase in T-wave dispersion in the pseudo-ECG signal. Thus, our modelling study is able to explain the ionic mechanisms underlying the main sotalol-induced changes in clinical T-wave morphology. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
