Core Tip Hu et al demonstrated that landiolol reduced ventricular arrhythmia burden in a septic rat model while attenuating inflammation, apoptosis, and fibrosis, improving conduction heterogeneity, and being accompanied by reciprocal changes in Cx43 and Nav1.5 expression. The key message is conceptual rather than definitive: Ultra-short-acting beta1 blockade may benefit selected septic patients by modulating an inflammation-fibrosis-Nav1.5/Cx43 electro-structural axis, not merely by slowing heart rate. Future studies should explicitly link expression to function through INa and gap-junction or hemichannel assays, define the safe dose and time window, and translate this framework through phenotype-guided clinical implementation.
