效的,此时可改用心脏起搏器来获得固定的心率。对QT/RR(心电图中R波与R波的距离)关系进行分析可能更合适,包括用公式对个体动物QT间期数据进行校正。
在犬或猴等大动物记录ECG,是安全性评价的基本组成。药物引起QT间期显著延长将使致命性心律失常TdP发生的风险显著增加,因而ECG的QT间期被作为预测新化合物引起TdP的重要风险因素。鉴于犬、猴和小型猪等大动物在心肌离子通道构成和功能方面与人类具有高度相似性,通常用于整体QT分析研究中。整体QT分析试验可在麻醉和清醒动物进行,具体方法参见表3所列文献。

(三)追加的研究
药物对心肌动作电位(Action potential,AP)的影响:心脏的正常功能依赖于心肌细胞动作电位的产生和传导。药物引起细胞膜离子通道表达或功能异常是其导致心律失常的重要病理生理基础。因此,在离体心脏标本进行动作电位参数测定,是ICH 推荐的QT间期延长药物安全性评价体系中的重要组成之一。常用于动作电位参数测定的动物离体心脏标本及试验方法见表4,试验中重要的参数项目见表5。
