Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The E23K variant of the Kir6.2 subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel has been implicated in cardiac remodeling. However, the effects of E23K variant on ventricular electrophysiology and arrhythmogenesis remain unclear. METHODS: Transgenic rats were generated to express human E23K-variant genomic DNA in the heart under the α-myosin heavy chain promoter. Electrophysiological parameters...
