The study of the electrical activity of the sportsmen-swimmers' heart has been carried out during ventricular repolarization under short-term acute moderate normobaric hypoxia. It was revealed that acute hypoxia leads to a significant decrease of the duration of the early ventricular repolarization immediately after hypoxic exposure, of the duration of the late repolarization - at last minutes. The structural change of ventricular repolarization of the heart of the athletes surveyed was shown based on the changes in amplitude-temporal characteristics of the extrema of the heart electric field during the ventricular repolarization of the heart upon acute hypoxic exposure.

Background -Smoking is associated with arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death, but the biological mechanisms remain unclear. In electrocardiogram (ECG) recordings abnormal durations of ventricular repolarization (QT interval), atrial depolarization (P wave), and atrioventricular depolarization (PR interval and segment), predict cardiac arrhythmia and mortality. Previous analyses of the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) database for associations between smoking and ECG abnormalities were incomplete.

Background: Previous studies suggest the relationship between activation time (AT) and action potential duration (APD) in the heart is dependent on electrotonic coupling, but this has not been directly tested. This study assessed whether acute changes in electrical coupling, or other determinants of conduction or repolarization, modulate APD heterogeneity.
Methods And Results: Langendorff-perfused guinea pig hearts were epicardially paced and optically mapped after treatment with the gap junction uncoupler carbenoxolone, ephaptic uncoupler mannitol, ephaptic enhancer dextran 2MDa, sodium channel inhibitor flecainide, or rapid component of the delayed rectifier potassium channel inhibitor E4031.
Background: Flecainide and other class-Ic antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) are widely used in Andersen-Tawil syndrome type 1 (ATS1) patients. However, class-Ic drugs might be proarrhythmic in some cases. We investigated the molecular mechanisms of class-I AADs proarrhythmia and whether they might increase the risk of death in ATS1 patients with structurally normal hearts.

The KCNE family (KCNE1-5) is a group of single transmembrane auxiliary subunits for the voltage-gated K channel KCNQ1. The KCNQ1-KCNE complexes are crucial for numerous physiological processes including ventricular repolarization and K recycling in epithelial cells. We identified a new member of the KCNE family, "KCNE6", from zebrafish.

Background: Congenital long-QT syndrome (LQTS) is characterized by delayed ventricular repolarization, predisposing to potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias. The variability in disease severity among patients remains largely unexplored, underscoring the limitations of current risk stratification methods.
Objective: We aimed to evaluate the potential utility of exercise stress test (EST) electrocardiographic markers in identifying high-risk LQTS patients.
