This spontaneous [Ca.sup.2+] leakage can result in sodium [Ca.sup.2+] exchanger (NCX) triggered early and/or delayed
afterdepolarizations (EADs/DADs) and arrhythmias in CMs [4].

This can cause early
afterdepolarizations (EADs) from inward depolarizing currents through T-type calcium channels or sodium channels which appear as U waves on ECG.
Early
afterdepolarizations (EADs) from the right ventricular epicardial surface triggered VT, which degenerated to ventricular fibrillation [3].
In addition, Xue et al .[sup][15] have found that, in the rabbit models, Wenxin Keli suppressed early
afterdepolarizations, delayed
afterdepolarizations, and triggered ventricular arrhythmias via selective inhibition of the late I[sub]Na that is proved to contribute to arrhythmogenesis.[sup][21] The other possible mechanisms underlying the ventricular anti-arrhythmic effect of Wenxin Keli observed in this study included abolishing rate-dependent change in repolarization and indirectly alleviating intracellular Ca [sup]2+ overloads via reducing the sodium influx.

Nocturnal prolonged cycle lengths can facilitate the occurrence of early
afterdepolarizations and ventricular arrhythmias including torsades de pointes.
In the study, Gideon Koren, M.D., a physician researcher and colleagues studied early
afterdepolarizations (EADs), an abnormal depolarization during the plateau phase of the heart electrical activity (action potential) that can initiate arrhythmia, and a hallmark of LQTS.
Canine left ventricular hypertrophy predisposes to ventricular tachycardia induction by phase 2 early
afterdepolarizations after administration of BAY K 8644.
