Many biomarkers have been used to predict TdP. At present, however, there are few biomarkers for arrhythmias induced by QT-shortening drugs. The objective of the present study was to identify the best biomarkers for predicting arrhythmias caused by the 4 potassium channel openers ICA-105574, NS-1643, R-L3, and pinacidil. Our results showed that, at higher concentrations, all 4 potassium channel openers induced ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) in Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts, but not in rabbit hearts. The electrocardiography parameters were measured including QT\/QTc, JT peak, Tp-e interval, JT area, short-term beat-to-beat QT interval variability (STV), and index of cardiac electrophysiological balance (iCEB). We found that the potassium channel openers at test concentrations shortened the QT\/QTc and the JT peak interval and increased the JT area. Nevertheless, even at proarrhythmic concentrations, they did not always change STV, Tp-e, or iCEB. Receiver operating characteristic curve analysis showed that the JT peak interval representing the early repolarization phase and the JT area reflecting the dispersion of ventricular repolarization were the best predictors of VT\/VF. Action potential recordings in guinea pig papillary muscle revealed that except for pinacidil, the potassium channel openers shortened APD\n                    <jats:sub>30<\/jats:sub>\n                    in a concentration-dependent manner. They also evoked early or delayed afterdepolarizations at fast pacing rates. Patch-clamp recordings in guinea pig ventricular cardiomyocytes showed that the potassium channel openers enhanced the total outward currents during the early phase of action potential repolarization, especially at proarrhythmic concentrations. We concluded that the JT peak interval and the JT area are surrogate biomarkers identifying the risk of proarrhythmia associated with the administration of QT-shortening agents. The acceleration of early-phase repolarization and the increased dispersion of ventricular repolarization may contribute to the occurrence of arrhythmias.\n
