To analyze and review on the literature about the research of traditional Chinese medicine that acting on calcium signal transduction pathways of myocardial cell. So far

more and more traditional Chinese medicine used in the prevention and treatment of clinical cardiovascular arrhythmia disease

and the method which to combine calcium ion channels and related receptor to research the mechanism of anti-arrhythmic drugs has become a hot spot. 21 latest and representative references was searched and chosen from the MEDLINE and CNKI database using calcium channel

traditional Chinese medicine and patch clamp technique etc. as keywords

then summarizes the new progress on the research of traditional Chinese medicine that acting on calcium signal transduction pathways of myocardial cell. This paper reviews lately research status about effects of Chinese herbs on calcium channels and related protein receptors of calcium signal transduction pathways of myocardial cells

and states some problems existing in current research

and looks ahead the future study to provide new ideas and experimental basis.
