摘　　要：Objectives To investigate the effects of simvastatin on membrane ionic currents in left ventricular myocytes of rabbit heart suffering from acute myocardial infarction （ AMI）, so as to explore the ionic mechanism of statin treatment for antiarrhythmia. Methods Forty-five New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups： AMI group, simvastatin intervention group （ Statin group） and sham-operated control group （CON）. Rabbits were infarcted by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery after administration of oral simvastatin 5 mg · kg^-1·d^-1 （Statin group） or placebo （AMI group） for 3 days. Single ventricular myocytes were isolated enzymatically from the epicardial zone of the infracted region 72 h later. Whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record membrane ionic currents, including sodium current （INa）, L-type calcium current （Ica-L） and transient outward potassium current （Ito）. Results （1） There was not significant difference in serum cholesterol concentration among three groups. （2） The peak INa current density （at -30 mV） was significantly decreased in AMI group （ -25.26±5.28, n = 13 ）, comparing with CON （ - 42. 78± 5.48, n = 16）, P 〈 0. 05, while it was significantly increased in Statin group （ - 39.83 ±5.65 pA/pF, n = 12） comparing with AMI group, P 〈0. 01 ; The peak Ica-L current density （ at 0 mV） was significantly decreased in AMI group （ -3. 43 ±0. 92 pA/pF, n = 13） comparing with CON （ -4. 56 ±1.01 pA/pF, n = 15）, P 〈0. 05, while it was significantly increased in Statin group （ -4. 18±0. 96 pA/pF, n = 12） comparing with AMI group, P 〈0. 05; The Ito current density （ at ＋ 60 mV） was significantly decreased in AMI group （ 11.41 ± 1.94 pA/pF, n = 13 ） comparing with CON （17.41 ±3.13 pA/pF, n = 15）, P 〈0. 01, while it was significantly increased in Statin group （16. 11 ± 2. 43 pA/pF, n = 14） comparing with AMI group, P 〈 0. 01.
