Is nCX an important determinant for premature ventricular activity in a drug-induced model of Andersen-Tawil syndrome?
PVA preferentially occurs in regions of enhanced NCX expression with relatively slower Ca(2+) uptake and during perfusion of CPA which further reduces sarcoplasmic reticular Ca(2+) uptake.
In this study, good cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with an increase of the proven risk factors and a reduction of atherosclerosis in the common carotid artery. Roughness seems to be significantly more sensitive than IMT for characterising the changes of the arterial wall. We suggest measuring roughness in addition to IMT to gain additional information about the atherosclerotic wall.
