Background: Dantrolene, a specific agent for the treatment of malignant hyperthermia, was found to inhibit Ca2+ leak through not only the skeletal ryanodine receptor (RyR1), but also the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) by correcting the defective inter-domain interaction between N-terminal (1-619 amino acid) and central (2,000 2,500 amino acid) domains of RyRs. Here, the in vivo anti-arrhythmic effect of dantrolene in a human catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT)-associated RyR2(R2474S/+) knock-in (KI) mouse model was investigated.Methods and Results: ECG was monitored in KI mice (n=6) and wild-type (WT) mice (n=6), before and after an injection of epinephrine (1.0 mg/kg) or on exercise using a treadmill. In all KI (but not WT) mice, bi-directional ventricular tachycardia (VT) was induced after an injection of epinephrine or on exercise. Pre-treatment with dantrolene (for 7-10 days) significantly inhibited the inducible VT (P
