Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Short-coupled variant of torsades de pointes (scTdP) is a disease characterized by TdP without QT prolongation, which is initiated by extremely short-coupled ventricular extra-systoles. Its genetic background remains rarely unveiled. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to identify genetic variations in patients with scTdP and to analyze the functional change of the mutant Na+ channel identified in a scTdP patient....
