After administration of TFH 100-200 mg.L-1, the action potential duration of 50% repolarization (APD50) was shortened both in cultured rat myocardial cells and in guinea pig papillary muscles. The slope of phase 4 of depolarization (SP4) in cultured rat myocardial cells was decreased and the contractile force (CF) in guinea pig papillary muscles was weakened. Arrhythmias evoked by strophantin G in guinea pig papillary muscles were suppressed by TFH 100 mg.L-1. These findings suggested that the influence of TFH on myocardial cells may be resulted mainly from its inhibition of Ca2+ influx and its interference with intracellular Ca2+ reservoir.
