Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to show the mechanism how the HERG channel gating defects causes life-threatening arrhythmia in the short-QT syndrome, using a simulation model of ventricular action potentials (APs). METHODS AND RESULTS: To evaluate the electrophysiological consequences of the short-QT syndrome at the level of the cardiac AP, the Markov model of wild-type (WT) KCNH2 channel was modified to obtain a...
