Mild hypothermia increases sarcoplasmic reticular Ca2+ content but decreases the likelihood of spontaneous Ca2+ release. This may explain the reduction of delayed afterdepolarisations and Iti current amplitude in Purkinje fibres and it could represent a mechanism for the protection provided by hypothermia against ventricular arrhythmias.
