19 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We describe a genetic basis for atrial fibrillation and short QT syndrome in utero. Heterologous expression of the mutant channel was used to define the physiological consequences of the mutation. METHODS: A baby girl was born at 38 weeks after induction of delivery that was prompted by bradycardia and irregular rythm. ECG revealed atrial fibrillation with slow ventricular response and short QT...
