Abstract
⺠Ghrelin showed the protective effect on ventricular arrhythmias after myocardial infarction in rats. ⺠Ghrelin drastically reduce the incidence of VT and prevent the loss of phosphorylated Cx43 during MI. ⺠Ghrelin may increase Cx43 expression in the infarcted heart through the inhibition of ET-1. ⺠Ghrelin can consider as a new strategy for the prevention of postinfarction ventricular arrhythmias.
