Sudden infant death syndrome: how significant are the cardiac channelopathies?

abstract：:Electrophysiologic remodeling is a process whereby heart disease alters the electrophysiologic properties of cardiac tissue. These alterations, in turn, can cause or exacerbate disease-related arrhythmias. Ion channels are the fundamental molecular units underlying cardiac electrophysiology, and it therefore follows t...
