Abstract excerpt
Recent studies using mice with genetically engineered gap junction protein connexin (Cx) genes have provided evidence that reduced gap-junctional coupling in ventricular cardiomyocytes predisposes to ventricular arrhythmia. However, the pathological processes of arrhythmogenesis due to abnormalities in gap junctions are poorly understood. We have postulated a hypothesis that dysfunction of gap junctions at the...
