Abstract excerpt
One variant of the long-QT syndrome (LQT3) is caused by mutations in the human cardiac sodium channel gene. In addition to the characteristic QT prolongation, LQT3 carriers regularly present with bradycardia and sinus pauses. Therefore, we studied the effect of the 1795insD Na+ channel mutation on sinoatrial (SA) pacemaking. The 1795insD channel was previously characterized by the presence of a persistent inward...
