Mechanistic Role of <i>I</i> <sub>f</sub> Revealed by Induction of Ventricular Automaticity by Somatic Gene Transfer of Gating-Engineered Pacemaker (HCN) Channels
28 Mar 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Although I(f), encoded by the hyperpolarization-activated cyclic-nucleotide-modulated (HCN) channel gene family, is known to be functionally important in pacing, its mechanistic action is largely inferential and indeed somewhat controversial. To dissect in detail the role of I(f), we investigated the functional consequences of overexpressing in adult guinea pig left ventricular cardiomyocytes (LVCMs)...
