Cell model of catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia reveals early and delayed afterdepolarizations

Summary

This cell model shows aberrant Ca(2+) cycling characteristic of CPVT and in addition to DADs it displays EADs. This cell model for CPVT provides a platform to study basic pathology, to screen drugs, and to optimize drug therapy.
