Aberrant diastolic Ca2+ leakage through cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) is an important cause of lethal arrhythmia in heart failure (HF), as a mechanism of triggered activity. 1-4 This leakage is attributed to a defective interaction between the N-terminal and central domains within RyR2, which leads to the dissociation of CaM (calmodulin) and arrhythmia. 1–4 Dantrolene, used to treat malignant hyperthermia via binding to a mutant skeletal ryanodine receptor (RyR1), can directly bind to RyR2 via the Leu601-Cys620 in the N-terminus. This binding enhances the affinity of CaM to RyR2, thereby inhibiting Ca2+ leakage and suppressing arrhythmia (Figure [A]). The binding site of dantrolene is 3-dimensionally close to both the zipping interface (N-terminal: 1-220; Central: 2300-2500) and the CaM-binding domain (3583-3603), 5 suggesting that dantrolene structurally suppresses CaM dissociation during stress, prevents defective inter-subunit interactions, thereby stabilizing tetramer, in consistent with our preclinical studies (Figure [A]). 1–4 The antiarrhythmic effect of dantrolene has been reported to date in canine tachycardia-induced HF, mouse transverse aortic constriction, and mouse catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia models. 1, 3, 4 In this single-center, interventional, open-label, uncontrolled study, we aimed to evaluate the acute effect of intravenous dantrolene (dantrolene IV) in the context of ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm or sustained VT (sVT) in patients with HF, resistant to the guideline-directed medical therapy with β-blockers and class III antiarrhythmic drugs. An initial dose of 20 mg was administered on top of other antiarrhythmic agents, followed by 1 mg/kg of dantrolene (at a rate of 2 mg/min) until the termination of VT or up to a maximum of 7 mg/kg. After the termination of VT, the maintenance dose of dantrolene was adjusted to 0.5 to 1.0 mg/kg every 4 to 8 hours for at least 2 days according to the Japanese guideline of malignant hyperthermia, considering that the half-life of dantrolene is 4 to 8 hours. The data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author upon reasonable request. We enrolled 10 consecutive patients (9 males, 1 female) with refractory sVT or VT storm. All patients had New York Heart Association III or IV, high BNP level, and left ventricular dysfunction (LVEF; 30±9%). VT was terminated at a dosage of≤ 3 mg/kg in 8/10 (80.0%) patients. The time to the termination of VT after injection was≤ 120 minutes. The incidence (95% CI,− 32.7000 [− 73.8799 to 8.4799]) and duration (95% CI,− 6.4264 [− 12.1816 to− 0.6712]) of sVT/VT storm within 24 hours of dantrolene IV were markedly lower than those of pre-injection (Figure [B]). The proportion of patients free from recurrent sVT/VT storm within 48 hours after the first cessation of VT/VT storm was 90.0%(9/10) according to the Kaplan-Meier method. Corrected QT intervals (QTc) and LVEF had been unchanged after dantrolene therapy. Representative cases are shown in Figure [C] and Figure [D]. The VT storms refractory to amiodarone and other anti-arrhythmic drugs showed complete response to dantrolene IV. To our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the acute antiarrhythmic effect of dantrolene IV against the refractory VT storm in patients with HF. The most important anti-arrhythmic action of dantrolene is that
