Time-dependent effect of Pentamidine on Cor.4U cardiomyocytes. Pentamidine clinically causes acquired long QT syndrome, which is associated with prolonged QT intervals, tachycardias, and sudden cardiac arrest. Pentamidine delays terminal repolarization in human heart by acutely blocking cardiac inward rectifier currents. At the same time, it reduces surface expression of the cardiac potassium channel IKr/human ether à-go-go-related gene (hERG).
