Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Abnormal calcium handling plays a crucial role in arrhythmias, sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), and congestive heart failure (CHF). Calsequestrin 2 (CASQ2) mutations affect calcium release and initiate malignant ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) and SCA syndromes. Common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CASQ2 may be associated with SCA in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). OBJECTIVE: The...
