Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have linked dysfunctional Ito arising from mutations to KCND3-encoded Kv4.3 and KCND2-encoded Kv4.2 to atrial fibrillation. Using computational models, this study aimed to investigate the mechanisms underlying pro-arrhythmic effects of the gain-of-function Kv4.3 (T361S, A545P) and Kv4.2 (S447R) mutations. Wild-type and mutant Ito formulations were developed from and validated against experimental...
