Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) involves genetic mutations affecting ion channels, leading to a prolonged QT interval and increased risk of potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias. Mutations in the genes encoding KV7.1/KCNE1 are the most frequent, with channel loss-of-function contributing to LQTS. The endocannabinoid N-arachidonoyl-L-serine (ARA-S) has been shown to facilitate...
