The Role of KATP-channels in the Maintenance of Ventricular Fibrillation in Cardiomyopathic Human Hearts

Background: Modulation of ischemia-dependent pathways alters electrophysiological evolution of ventricular fibrillation(VF). Hypothesis: 1)There is regional disease-related expression of KATP-channels in human cardiomyopathic hearts. 2)KATP-channel blockade promotes spontaneous VF termination by at...
