Distinct electrophysiological and mechanical beating phenotypes of long QT syndrome type 1-specific cardiomyocytes carrying different mutations
26 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
Long QT syndrome (LQTS) is associated with increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. LQTS type 1 (LQT1), the most prevalent subtype of LQTS, is caused by defects of slow delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs) that lead to abnormal cardiac repolarization. Here we used pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-technology to investigate both the electrophysiological and also for the first time the...
