Channel Openings Are Necessary but not Sufficient for Use-dependent Block of Cardiac Na(+) Channels by Flecainide: Evidence from the Analysis of Disease-linked Mutations

Na(+) channel blockers such as flecainide have found renewed usefulness in the diagnosis and treatment of two clinical syndromes arising from inherited mutations in SCN5A, the gene encoding the α subunit of the cardiac voltage–gated Na(+) channel. The Brugada syndrome (BrS) and the LQT-3 variant of...
