Late I Na Blocker GS967 Supresses Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in a Transgenic Rabbit Model of Long QT Type 2
6 Jul 2020
Abstract excerpt
Background: Long QT syndrome has been associated with sudden cardiac death likely caused by early afterdepolarizations (EADs) and polymorphic ventricular tachycardias (PVTs). Suppressing the late sodium current (I NaL ) may counterbalance the reduced repolarization reserve in long QT syndrome and prevent EADs and PVTs. Methods: We tested the effects of the selective I NaL blocker GS967 on PVT induction in a...
