Abstract

The effects of berberine on 100 cases with ventricular tachyarrhythmias observed with 24 to 48 hour ambulatory monitoring were reported. The results showed that 62% of patients had 50% or greater, and 38% of patients had 90% or greater VPC suppression. The mean value of VPCs in whole group was significantly decreased by berberine from 452 +/- 421.8 beats per hour to 271 +/- 352.7 beats per hour (P less than 0.001). These results revealed that berberine is effective for ventricular tachyarrhythmias. There were no severe side effects, only mild gastroenterologic symptoms were observed in some patients.
