Abstract excerpt
Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a rare condition characterized by abnormally 'short' QT intervals on the ECG and increased susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death. This simulation study investigated arrhythmia dynamics in multi-scale human ventricle models associated with the SQT2-related V307L KCNQ1 'gain-of-function' mutation, which increases slow-delayed rectifier potassium current (IKs). A Markov...
