Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The cardiac sodium channel Nav 1.5, encoded by the gene SCN5A, is associated with a wide spectrum of hereditary arrhythmias. The gain-of-function mutation p.I141V in SCN5A was identified in a large multigenerational family with exercise-induced polymorphic ventricular arrhythmias. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the molecular and clinical effects of flecainide administration on patients with...
