| Abstract | Abnormal cardiac repolarization is at the basis of life-threatening arrhythmias in various congenital and acquired cardiac diseases. Dysfunction of ion channels involved in repolarization at the cellular level are often the underlying cause of the repolarization abnormality. The expression pattern of the gene encoding the affected ion channel dictates its impact on the shape of the T-wave and duration of the QT interval, thereby setting the stage for both the occurrence of the trigger and the substrate for maintenance of the arrhythmia. Here we discuss how research into the genetic and electrophysiological basis of repolarization has provided us with insights into cardiac repolarization in health and disease and how this in turn may provide the basis for future improved patient-specific management. |
