Abstract excerpt
Sympathetic stimulation or catecholamines modulate ventricular repolarization and provoke ventricular tachyarrhythmias in a variety of heart diseases and conditions. Among those, the congenital form of long QT syndrome (LQTS) has long been known to be a Rosetta stone for sympathetic-related ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Recent experimental studies employing arterially-perfused ventricular wedge preparations as...
