Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The recessive form of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia 2 (CPVT2) is caused by mutations in cardiac calsequestrin (CASQ2), leading to protein deficiency. OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study were to develop a viral-delivered gene therapy for CPVT2 and to determine the relationship between CASQ2 expression and antiarrhythmic efficacy in a murine model. METHODS: We used a murine model...
