Funded Activity Summary

Disturbances of the rhythm of the heartbeat are a major cause of death and disability. Due to the sudden onset and rapidity of death with cardiac arrhythmias it is important to be able to predict in advance who is most at risk. In this study we will investigate whether it is possible to develop in vitro assays to stratify risk in patients with congenital long QT syndrome type 2, an inherited arrhythmia syndrome.
