[EN] Obesity mechanisms that make atrial tissue vulnerable to arrhythmia are poorly understood. Voltage-dependent potassium (I-K, I-Kur, and I-K1) and L-type calcium currents (I-Ca,I- L) are electrically relevant and ...
Accurate diagnosis of predisposition to long QT syndrome is crucial for reducing the risk of cardiac arrhythmias. In recent years, drug-induced provocative tests have proved useful to unmask some latent mutations linked ...

Heart failure (HF) claims 250,000 lives per year in the US, and nearly half of these deaths are sudden and presumably
due to ventricular tachyarrhythmias. QT interval and action potential (AP) prolongation are hallmark ...
