cardiovascular system
N |
• at rest, mice exhibit normal cardiac morphology and function
|
• mice exhibit bidirectional or polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) induced by exercise or epinephrine unlike in wild-type mice
• pretreatment with K201 (JTV519) does not affect inducible VT
• however, dantrolene treatment rescues phenotype
|
• cardiomyocytes exhibit reduced threshold of sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium load for channel activation compared with wild-type cells
