1. The present review focuses on the role of the Ca2+-releasing second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) in initiating arrhythmias during early reperfusion following a period of myocardial ischaemia. 2. Evidence for an arrhythmogenic action of IP3 was provided by studies showing a correlation between the extent of the increase in IP3 and the incidence of arrhythmias in early reperfusion. In addition, phospholipase C inhibitors selective for thrombin receptor stimulation were anti-arrhythmic only when arrhythmias were thrombin initiated. 3. Mechanisms by which IP3 could initiate arrhythmias are discussed, with particular emphasis on the role of slow and unscheduled Ca2+ release. 4. The reperfusion-induced IP3 and arrhythmogenic responses can be initiated through either alpha1-adrenoceptors or thrombin receptors, but endothelin receptor stimulation was ineffective. Further studies have provided evidence that the noradrenaline-mediated response was mediated by alpha1A-receptors, while the alpha1B-adrenoceptor subtype appeared to be protective. 5. Reperfusion-induced IP3 responses could be inhibited by procedures known to reduce the incidence of arrhythmias under these conditions, including preconditioning, inhibiting Na+/H+ exchange or by dietary supplementation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. 6. Inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate generation in cardiomyocytes can be facilitated by raising intracellular Ca2+ and it seems likely that the rise in Ca2+ in ischaemia and reperfusion is responsible for the generation of IP3, which will, in turn, further exacerbate Ca2+ overload.
