Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a new genetic disorder of the electrical system of the heart. To date, there are six gene mutations in ion channels underlying SQTS. However, functional effects of spatial heterogeneities, such as island-distribution of mid-cardiomyocytes (M island) on ventricular electrical excitation in SQTS condition are poorly understood or even not understood at all. Therefore, this study...
