High resolution mapping revealed that skeletal myotubes produced localized slowing of conduction velocity (CV), increased dispersion of CV and directional-dependence of activation delay without affecting myocyte excitability. Reentry was easily induced by rapid pacing in cocultures; treatment with lidocaine, a Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>channel blocker, significantly decreased reentry rate and CV, increased reentry path length and terminated 30% of reentrant arrhythmias (n=18). In contrast, nitrendipine, an L-type Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>channel blocker terminated 100% of reentry episodes while increasing reentry cycle length and path length and decreasing reentry CV (n=16). K<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>channel blockers increased reentry action potential duration but infrequently terminated reentry (n=12).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold><jats:italic><jats:underline>Conclusions<\/jats:underline>:<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold>Cocultures reproduce several architectural and electrophysiological features of the healed IBZ. Reentry termination by L-type Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>channel, but not Na<jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>channel, blockers suggests a greater Ca<jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>-dependence of propagation.
