Abstract Aim of the work The aim of the work is to review the recent advances of the molecular mechanisms of arrhythmia. Conclusion The role of marine fish oil (n-3) polyunsaturated fatty acids in the prevention of fatal ventricular arrhythmia has been established in experimental animals. Prevention of arrythmias arising at the onset of ischemia and reperfusion is important because of untreated; they result in sudden cardiac death. The relatively recent recognition of apoptosis as a unique mechanism of cell death has sparked several interesting studies to examine its role in various disorders of cardiac rhythm. This article highlights the important aspects of the role of apoptic cell death as it relates to the electrical function of the heart. The treatment of cardiac arrhythmia remains a major clinical challenge, but recent advances have expanded the scope of treatment options that patients can be offered. Despite recent advances, the fields of arrhythmia genetics, physiology and therapy are still immature. |
