Ventricular arrhythmia is the main leading cause of sudden cardiac death, which remains a major public health problem. To date, no available antiarrhythmic drug therapies have been proven mortality benefit. Abnormalities in cardiac repolarization are important contributors to the development of lethal ventricular arrhythmias. The basic ion-channel control mechanisms for ventricular repolarization are still poorly understood. This thesis addressed potential mechanisms responsible for ion channel regulation involved in three clinically relevant paradigms of ventricular repolarization control.I first characterized in detail the ionic currents controlling repolarization across the ventricular wall in female/male canine left ventricles. I found ...
