Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) mediates attenuation of the L-type calcium channel and modulates myocyte contractility. Arrhythmogenic afterdepolarizations are seen in vitro in ouabain-treated isolated myocytes from eNOS-deficient mice. The aim of these studies was to characterize the baseline electrophysiologic (EP) phenotype of eNOS-deficient mice and their potential susceptibility to...
