Abstract excerpt
Nav1.5-derived Na+ current (INa) exerts a pivotal role in the depolarization phase of cardiomyocytes' action potential, and, therefore, changes in INa can contribute to fatal arrhythmias. Nav1.5 displays naturally occurring ethnicity-related polymorphisms, which might alter the functioning and pharmacology of the channel. Some studies have shown how single-nucleotide polymorphism can change the response to...
