Diclofenac Prolongs Repolarization in Ventricular Muscle with Impaired Repolarization Reserve [PDF]
The aim of the present work was to characterize the electrophysiological effects of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac and to study the possible proarrhythmic potency of the drug in ventricular muscle.Ion currents were recorded using voltage clamp technique in canine single ventricular cells and action potentials were obtained from ...

Chronic Heart Failure Management: Monitoring Patients and Intercepting Exacerbations
Despite significant progress in the field of therapy and management, chronic heart failure (CHF) still remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality, especially among the elderly in Western countries.

Sex, hormones, and repolarization [PDF]
There is increased awareness of the impact of gender and gonadal steroids on human cardiac rhythm and arrhythmias; e.g., drugs that prolong repolarization induce torsades de pointes (TdP) more frequently in women than men; female gender is an independent risk factor for syncope and sudden death in the congenital long QT syndrome; and the higher ...

Ventricular repolarization abnormality plays a crucial role in cardiac arrhythmia. Polymorphisms in renin—angiotensin system genes are associated with occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia. We previously demonstrated that subjects carrying the angiotensin

Refining repolarization reserve [PDF]
A body of cellular and molecular studies over the past 15 years has demonstrated that the fundamental molecular lesion in the drug-induced long QT syndrome (LQTS) is block of the repolarizing potassium current IKr, the “rapid” component of the repolarizing potassium current that was initially termed IK.1,2 Further, decreased IKr due to KCNH2 mutations ...
