Abstract excerpt
Long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome (BrS), and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) are genetic diseases of the heart caused by mutations in specific cardiac ion channels and are characterized by paroxysmal arrhythmias, which can deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation. In LQTS3 and BrS different mutations in the SCN5A gene lead to a gain-or a loss-of-function of the voltage-gated...
