Abstract
The book “Channelopathies in Heart Disease” provides a translational overview of current state-of-the art research on ion channel (dys)function, cardiac channelopathies, and inherited arrhythmia syndromes. The latest insight on the structure and function of cardiac ion channels and the pro-arrhythmic consequences of their dysfunction is presented. Clinical and genetic characteristics of various inherited channelopathies and arrhythmia syndromes are discussed, in addition to new technologies available to this translational research field.
