Dantrolene rescues arrhythmogenic RYR2 defect in a patient‐specific stem cell model of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
15 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
Coordinated release of calcium (Ca(2+) ) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) through cardiac ryanodine receptor (RYR2) channels is essential for cardiomyocyte function. In catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), an inherited disease characterized by stress-induced ventricular arrhythmias in young patients with structurally normal hearts, autosomal dominant mutations in RYR2 or recessive...
