Amiodarone inhibits apamin-sensitive potassium currents.

Amiodarone inhibits apamin-sensitive potassium currents.

Apamin sensitive potassium current (I KAS), carried by the type 2 small conductance Ca(2+)-activated potassium (SK2) channels, plays an important role in post-shock action potential duration (APD) shortening and recurrent spontaneous ventricular fibrillation (VF) in failing ventricles.To test the hy...
