abstract：:Brugada syndrome has been linked to mutations in SCN5A. Agents that dissociate slowly from the sodium channel such as flecainide and ajmaline unmask the Brugada syndrome electrocardiogram and precipitate ventricular tachycardia/fibrillation. Lidocaine, an agent with rapid dissociation kinetics, has previously been sho...

abstract：:The mechanism(s) by which mutations in sarcomeric proteins cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains unknown. A leading hypothesis proposes that mutant sarcomeric proteins impair cardiac myocyte contractility, providing an impetus for compensatory hypertrophy. To test this hypothesis, we determined the impact of...
