BACKGROUND: Estrogens affect repolarization and may act as phenotype modifiers in long QT syndrome (LQTS). In a LQT2 patient with the G628S-KCNH2 mutation (normal CACNA1C genes) the occurrence of arrhythmia-related symptoms followed 17-β estradiol (E2) administration. This study aims to test whether a mechanistic link can be established between the two events. METHODS: Membrane potential, ICaL and IKr were...
