Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The specific changes in the gating kinetics of the sodium current (I(Na)) responsible for its phenotype have remained to be elucidated. In the present study the effect of changes in the gating kinetics of I(Na) on early repolarization (ER) and initiation of phase 2 reentry (P2R) were evaluated in a theoretical epicardial ventricular fiber model. METHODS AND RESULTS: Miyoshi-I(CaL) was incorporated...
