Role of sodium and calcium dysregulation in tachyarrhythmias in sudden cardiac death.

abstract：:Cardiac and arterial tissues of six male and six female adult baboons were examined for nuclear uptake of tritiated 5-alpha-dihydrotestosterone (3H-DHT) or tritiated estradiol-17 beta (3H-E2) by autoradiography. 3H-DHT uptake occurred in nuclei of most atrial and ventricular myocardial fibers, no cardiac interstitial ...
