Zebrafish: a novel research tool for cardiac (patho)electrophysiology and ion channel disorders

The zebrafish is a cold-blooded tropical freshwater teleost with a two-chamber heart morphology, typical for non-mammalian vertebrates. A major advantage of the zebrafish for heart studies is that the embryo is transparent, allowing for easy assessment of heart development, heart rate analysis and p...
