Estradiol regulates human QT-interval: acceleration of cardiac repolarization by enhanced KCNH2 membrane trafficking
12 Aug 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Modulation of cardiac repolarization by sexual hormones is controversial and hormonal effects on ion channels remain largely unknown. In the present translational study, we therefore assessed the relationship between QTc duration and gonadal hormones and studied underlying mechanisms. METHODS AND RESULTS: We measured hormone levels and QTc intervals in women during clomiphene stimulation for...
