Abstract in brief

Berberine is a plant-based compound traditionally used in Chinese medicine for infections, and it has several effects on the heart, such as strengthening heart contractions, slowing the heartbeat, preventing arrhythmias, and dilating blood vessels.
Its derivatives also show antiarrhythmic properties, and these effects are linked to blocking specific potassium channels and stimulating the sodium-calcium exchanger, which influence how heart cells generate electrical signals.
Overall, berberine’s ability to affect heart rhythm and blood vessel dilation indicates it could be useful in treating conditions like arrhythmias and heart failure.
