Efficacy of Flecainide in Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia Is Mutation-Independent but Reduced by Calcium Overload

BACKGROUND: The dual Na(+) and cardiac Ca(2+)-release channel inhibitor, Flecainide (FLEC) is effective in patients with catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), a disease caused by mutations in cardiac Ca(2+)-release channels (RyR2), calsequestrin (Casq2), or calmodulin. FLEC s...
