Genetic modifiers of cardiac arrhythmias.

Abstract excerpt

Rhythmic contraction of a four-chambered mammalian heart is a highly coordinated process, requiring a functional conduction system. Both acquired and inherited forms of arrhythmia can be life threatening, and are major causes of mortality and morbidity in developed nations. Knowledge derived from human genetics and from studies of mouse genetic models has led to the discovery of multiple molecular defects...
