Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is an arrhythmogenic disorder caused by mutations in the cardiac ryanodine receptor RyR2 that increase diastolic calcium cation (Ca2+) leak from the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Calmodulin (CaM) dissociation from RyR2 has been associated with diastolic Ca2+ leak in heart failure. OBJECTIVE: Determine whether the tetracaine-derivative...
