Accumulating data show that ischemia, sympathetic activation, and inflammation contribute to arrhythmogenesis. However, the role and mechanisms of abnormal mechanical stress in ventricular arrhythmia following MI remain undefined. We aimed to examine the impact of increased mechanical stress and identify the role of the key sensor Piezo1 in ventricular arrhythmogenesis in MI. Concomitant with increased ventricular pressure, Piezo1, as a newly recognized mechano-sensitive cation channel, was the most up-regulated mechanosensor in the myocardium of patients with advanced heart failure. Piezo1 was mainly located at the intercalated discs and T-tubules of cardiomyocytes, which are responsible for intracellular calcium homeostasis and intercellular communication. Cardiomyocyte-conditional Piezo1 knockout mice (Piezo1\n                    <jats:italic>\n                      <jats:sup>Cko<\/jats:sup>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    ) exhibited preserved cardiac function after MI.

In contrast, activation of Piezo1 in mouse myocardium increased the electrical instability as indicated by prolonged QT interval and sagging ST segment. Mechanistically, Piezo1 impaired intracellular calcium cycling dynamics by mediating the intracellular Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    overload and increasing the activation of Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    -modulated signaling, CaMKII, and calpain, which led to the enhancement of phosphorylation of RyR2 and further increment of Ca\n                    <jats:sup>2+<\/jats:sup>\n                    leaking, finally provoking cardiac arrhythmias. Furthermore, in human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs), Piezo1 activation remarkably triggered cellular arrhythmogenic remodeling by significantly shortening the duration of the action potential, inducing early afterdepolarization, and enhancing triggered activity.This study uncovered a proarrhythmic role of Piezo1 during cardiac remodeling, which is achieved
