Abstract
⺠Ivabradine treatment reduced the incidence of reperfusion ventricular arrhythmia. ⺠The anti-arrhythmic effects of ivabradine were due to heart rate reduction. ⺠Mean heart rate during ischaemia is a determinant of reperfusion arrhythmias. ⺠Heart rate reduction delayed onset of ischaemia-induced electrophysiological changes. ⺠Selective heart rate lowering is a potential anti-arrhythmic therapeutic strategy.
