Abstract excerpt
We created a mouse model with a prolonged Q-T interval and spontaneous arrhythmias by overexpressing the NH(2) terminus and first transmembrane segment (Kv1.1N206Tag) of a delayed rectifier potassium channel (LQT(+/-) mouse). Analyses were performed using whole cell recordings of cardiac myocytes, surface electrocardiography, and programmed electrical stimulation. Action potential duration (APD) was prolonged to...
