Abstract excerpt
Long QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2) is a congenital disease characterized by loss of function mutations in hERG potassium channels (IKr). LQT2 is associated with fatal ventricular arrhythmias promoted by triggered activity in the form of early afterdepolarizations (EADs). We previously demonstrated that intracellular Ca2+ handling is remodeled in LQT2 myocytes. Remodeling leads to aberrant late RyR-mediated Ca2+...
