Age-related changes in the cardiac actions of quinidine on action potential duration and interaction with potassium channels in several mammalian species also have been reported. We investigated the effects of postnatal development on quinidine\u2019s interaction with major repolarizing currents (<jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>to<\/jats:sub>,<jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>Kur<\/jats:sub>,<jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>ns<\/jats:sub>, and<jats:italic>I<\/jats:italic><jats:sub>K1<\/jats:sub>) in human atrial myocytes, using the whole-cell configuration of the voltage-clamp technique.
