Long-Term Outcome Associated with Early Repolarization on Electrocardiography

TL;DR: An early-repolarization pattern in the inferior leads of a standard electrocardiogram is associated with an increased risk of death from cardiac causes in middle-aged subjects.

Voltage-gated potassium channels as therapeutic targets

TL;DR: The human genome encodes 40 voltage-gated K+ channels, which are involved in diverse physiological processes ranging from repolarization of neuronal and cardiac action potentials, to regulating Ca2+ signalling and cell volume, to driving cellular proliferation and migration.

Cellular Basis for the Brugada Syndrome and Other Mechanisms of Arrhythmogenesis Associated With ST-Segment Elevation

Gan-Xin Yan, +1 more
- 12 Oct 1999 - 
TL;DR: Depression or loss of the action potential dome in RV epicardium creates a transmural voltage gradient that may be responsible for the ST-segment elevation observed in the Brugada syndrome and other syndromes exhibiting similar ECG manifestations.

Cellular Basis for the Electrocardiographic J Wave

Gan-Xin Yan, +1 more
- 15 Jan 1996 - 
TL;DR: The results provide the first direct evidence in support of the hypothesis that heterogeneous distribution of a transient outward current-mediated spike-and-dome morphology of the action potential across the ventricular wall underlies the manifestation of the electrocardiographic J wave.

Heterogeneity within the ventricular wall. Electrophysiology and pharmacology of epicardial, endocardial, and M cells.

TL;DR: In spite of important advances in cardiology in recent years, pharmacological control of cardiac arrhythmias in the clinic remains an experiment conducted on a patient-by-patient basis using a trial and error approach tempered by good clinical judgment.
