Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The epinephrine infusion test (EIT) typically induces marked QT prolongation in LQT1, but not LQT3, while the efficacy of β-blocker therapy is established in LQT1, but not LQT3. We encountered an LQT3 family, with an SCN5A V1667I mutation, that exhibited epinephrine-induced marked QT prolongation. METHODS: Wild-type (WT) or V1667I-SCN5A was transiently expressed into tsA-201 cells, and whole-cell...
