Article Synopsis
- Ion channels are proteins that facilitate ion movement across cell membranes, and mutations in these channels can lead to inherited heart rhythm disorders.
- Many antiarrhythmic drugs target these channels but often come with serious side effects, prompting the search for safer alternatives.
- This study found that Epigallocatechin-3-Gallate (E3G), from green tea, may reduce abnormalities in heart activity caused by specific ion channel mutations associated with heightened cardiac excitability.
