Arrhythmogenic and antiarrhythmic actions of late sustained sodium current in the adult human heart

Abstract Late sodium current (late INa) inhibition has been proposed to suppress the incidence of arrhythmias generated by pathological states or induced by drugs. However, the role of late INa in the human heart is still poorly understood. We therefore investigated the role of this conductance in a...
