Short QT syndrome (SQTS) is a genetic arrhythmogenic disease that can cause malignant arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. The current therapies for SQTS have application restrictions. We previously found that Mg- ...
Aim: To investigate the mechanisms underlying the activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K-ATP) by iptakalim in cultured rat mesenteric microvascular endothelial cells (MVECs). Methods: Whole-cell KATe ...
Aim: To determine the postshock activation patterns with both successful and failed shocks in a canine model of ventricular fibrillation and whether piniacidil, an early after-depolarization (EAD) inhibitor, altere...
