TNF-α-mediated caspase-8 activation induces ROS production and TRPM2 activation in adult ventricular myocytes.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Clinical trials suggest that sotalol and dofetilide are much more effective in preventing atrial fibrillation (AF) than in terminating it. This study evaluated potential mechanisms of discordant sotalol and dofetilide effects on AF termination vs. prevention. METHODS:We applied 240-electrode epicardial mapp...
