Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Electrocardiographic signature of escape capture bigeminy that spans generations and clusters in a family has not been linked to a sodium channel voltage sensor mutation. OBJECTIVE: To characterize the clinical and biophysical consequences of the R222Q mutation in the voltage sensor of cardiac sodium channels. METHODS: Comprehensive clinical assessment, invasive electrophysiologic study, genetic...
