Abstract excerpt
Current mechanisms of arrhythmogenesis in catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) require spontaneous Ca(2+) release via cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2) channels affected by gain-of-function mutations. Hence, hyperactive RyR2 channels eager to release Ca(2+) on their own appear as essential components of this arrhythmogenic scheme. This mechanism, therefore, appears inadequate to explain...
