Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Calmodulin kinase (CaMK) II is linked to arrhythmia mechanisms in cellular models where repolarization is prolonged. CaMKII upregulation and prolonged repolarization are general features of cardiomyopathy, but the role of CaMKII in arrhythmias in cardiomyopathy is unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS: We studied a mouse model of cardiac hypertrophy attributable to transgenic (TG) overexpression of a...
