Insights into the molecular mechanisms of bradycardia-triggered arrhythmias in long QT-3 syndrome
2002-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Congenital long QT syndrome is a rare disease in which the electrocardiogram QT interval is prolonged due to dysfunctional ventricular repolarization.Variant 3 (LQT-3) is associated with mutations in SCN5A, the gene coding for the heart Na + channel α subunit.Arrhythmias in LQT-3 mutation carriers are more likely to occur at rest, when heart rate is slow.Several LQT-3 Na + channel mutations exert their deleterious...
