PITX2c is Expressed in the Adult Left Atrium, and Reducing Pitx2c Expression Promotes Atrial Fibrillation Inducibility and Complex Changes in Gene Expression

TL;DR: A physiological role for PITx2 in the adult heart is demonstrated and the hypothesis that dysregulation of PITX2 expression can be responsible for susceptibility to atrial fibrillation is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cardiac electrophysiology in mice: a matter of size.

TL;DR: In which respects a mouse heart is a miniature human heart, a suitable model for studying mechanisms of cardiac arrhythmias in humans and in which respects human and murine hearts differ are assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Connexin diversity in the heart: insights from transgenic mouse models.

TL;DR: Mouse models have enhanced the understanding of (patho)-physiological implications of Cx diversity in the heart and in principle connexin-specific modulation of electrical coupling in theheart represents an interesting treatment strategy for cardiac arrhythmias and conduction disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Knock-in gain-of-function sodium channel mutation prolongs atrial action potentials and alters atrial vulnerability.

TL;DR: Murine hearts bearing an LQT3 mutation show abnormalities in atrial electrophysiology and subtle changes in atrian dimension, including an atrial arrhythmogenic phenotype on provocation, and indicate that murine sodium channel LQTS models may be useful for exploring underlying mechanisms.
