Resilience and Trigger Factors in Cardiac Arrhythmia: Risk Stratification and Drug Design
Up to 30% of individuals with inherited cardiac arrhythmias such as Long QT syndrome are not protected from sudden cardiac death despite state-of-the-art treatment. A major hurdle for effective risk stratification and treatment of inherited cardiac arrhythmias is the poor correlation between genetic variant and clinical manifestations. Affected individuals, who harbour the same arrhythmia-causative mutation, paradoxically display a spectrum of clinical phenotypes ranging from a lifelong asymptomatic state to sudden death in infancy. Up to 40% of genotype-positive individuals, depending on type of arrhythmia, do not display clinical manifestation. Based on our unpublished observations, I…
