The purpose of this review is to examine the role of the extracellular A1-adenosine (Ado) receptor in modulating membrane potential and currents in cardiac cells. The cellular electrophysiological effects of adenosine are both cell type- and species-dependent. In supraventricular tissues (SA, AV node, and atrium) of all species studied, the "direct" cAMP-independent activation of the inwardly rectifying K+ current IKAdo seems to be the most important action of adenosine. This current is activated by both adenosine and acetylcholine and flows through K+ channels with unitary slope conductance of about 45 pS and an open time constant of 1.4 ms. The density of K(+)-ACh,Ado channels is much less in ventricular than in atrial myocytes, and thus adenosine has little or no effect on the ventricular action potential. In atrial myocytes adenosine has a small inhibitory effect on basal L-type calcium current (ICa,L), but no effect on T-type calcium current (ICa,T). In ventricular myocytes, adenosine does not inhibit ICa,L (except ferret), ICa,T, or the sodium inward current INa. Adenosine has recently been shown to activate IKATP in ventricular membrane patches, but the relevance of this finding remains to be defined. Irrespective of cell type and species, adenosine inhibits membrane currents that are stimulated by beta-adrenergic agonists and other agents known to stimulate the activity of the enzyme adenylyl cyclase. This indirect cAMP-dependent mechanism of action has been shown to be responsible for the inhibition by adenosine of isoproterenol-stimulated ICa,L, delayed rectifier K+ current (IK), chloride current (ICl), the transient inward current ITi, and the pacemaker current IF. The importance of the actions of adenosine on membrane currents in modulation of atrial, ventricular, sinoatrial, and atrioventricular nodal function are discussed. Likewise, the antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic actions of adenosine are discussed and the clinical implications of these actions are noted.
