Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Diminished peak sodium current (I Na ) is a causative factor for slowed ventricular conduction and cardiac arrhythmias in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), a devastating muscle disease triggered by dystrophin deficiency. Recently, we showed that chronic administration of the sodium/glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor empagliflozin (EMPA) restores diminished peak I Na in ve...
