Chronic dantrolene treatment attenuates cardiac dysfunction and reduces atrial fibrillation inducibility in a rat myocardial infarction heart failure modelKey Findings

Background: Cardiac ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2) dysfunction and elevated diastolic Ca2+ leak have been linked to arrhythmogenesis not only in inherited arrhythmia syndromes but also in acquired forms of heart disease including heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF). Thus, stabilizing RyR2 m...
