Matrine, a monomer of traditional Chinese medicine Sophora flavescens, is a potential drug for treatment of arrhythmia. The aim of the study is to elucidate the protective effects of matrine on arrhythmic rat induced by myocardial infarction (MI) and further explore underlying targets. Experiments were performed to investigate the effects of long-term oral administration of matrine on coronary ligation induced arrhythmia, measured in whole animals, via surface electrocardiogram (ECG). Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was used to record the action potential and potassium ionic currents in myocytes isolated from rat hearts. The cytoplasmic free Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+](i)) was measured using the scanning confocal microscopy. Mortality rate was 19/30 (63%) in MI group and 10130 (33%) in matrine group (p
