Prevention and control of cardiac arrhythmic by using therapeutic foods: A review

Introduction

Arrhythmia occurs as a common heart vascular disease. Functional food is a rich source of natural compounds with significant pharmacological, The aim of this paper is to explore its effect on arrhythmia.

Methods

By reviewing the literature and summarising the findings, we described the role of functional foods in the alleviation of cardiac arrhythmias from different perspectives.

Results

Our study shows that functional foods have anti-arrhythmic effects through modulation of ion channels, oxidative stress, and Calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II.

Conclusions

We summarize the mechanism of arrhythmia inhibition by the active ingredients of medicinal diets in this review article, intending to provide research ideas for dietary therapy to regulate arrhythmia.
