Late cardiac sodium current can be assessed using automated patch-clamp
2014-10-16
Abstract excerpt
The cardiac late Na + current is generated by a small fraction of voltage-dependent Na + channels that undergo a conformational change to a burst-gating mode, with repeated openings and closures during the action potential (AP) plateau. Its magnitude can be augmented by inactivation-defective mutations, myocardial ischemia, or prolonged exposure to chemical compounds leading to drug-induced (di)-long QT syndrome...
