1. Quinidine (Chinidin)FDA LinkGeneric
2. Anti-Arrhythmia AgentsIBA
3. Ion Channels (Ion Channel)IBA
09/12/2013 - "The emergence of induced pluripotent stem cell technology could enable evaluation of the electrophysiological relevance of specific ion channel mutations in the proband or their relatives and will potentially enable screening of idiopathic ventricular fibrillation survivors combining genetic and electrophysiological studies in derived myocytes. "
01/01/2001 - "On the other hand, recent advances in molecular electrophysiology have definitively implicated abnormal function and structure of cardiac ion channels associated with repolarization as primary arrhythmogenic mechanisms in long QT syndrome, Brugada's Syndrome, and idiopathic ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. "
06/01/2006 - "Mutations in the SCN5A gene coding for the alpha-subunit of the cardiac Na(+) ion channel cause long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, sick sinus node syndrome, progressive conduction disease, dilated cardiomyopathy and atrial standstill. "
06/25/2004 - "On the other hand, mutations in another cardiac ion channel gene, SCN5A, also cause sinus node dysfunction as well as other cardiac arrhythmias, including long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, and progressive cardiac conduction disturbance. "
07/01/2002 - "Advances in methodology, especially molecular biology techniques and cellular electrophysiology, ie, patch clamp technique, revealed several mutations of sodium and potassium cardiac ion channels as a background for serious arrhythmia and consequently SCD in cases earlier determined as idiopathic ventricular fibrillation."
