Abstract excerpt
Mutant cardiac ryanodine receptor channels (RyR2) are “leaky,” and spontaneous Ca2+ release through these channels causes delayed afterdepolarizations that can deteriorate into ventricular fibrillation (VF). RYR2 is a causative gene of type 1 catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Some patients carrying RYR2 mutations in CPVT exhibit QT prolongation and are initially diagnosed with long QT s...
