Paroxysms of excitement: sodium channel dysfunction in heart and brain.

Abstract excerpt

Inherited disorders of ion-channels are associated with paroxysmal dysfunction of excitable tissues and manifest as diseases of the brain, heart and skeletal muscle. These so-called channelopathies have now been described for most of the major categories of voltage-dependent ion-channels including those selectively permeable to sodium. Sodium channelopathies affecting the heart and brain are reviewed in this...
