Cardiac electrophysiology and arrhythmias

This cluster of papers focuses on the molecular mechanisms, genetic testing, and clinical aspects of cardiac arrhythmias, including Long-QT Syndrome, Brugada Syndrome, and Sudden Cardiac Death. It explores the role of ion channels, calcium signaling, and arrhythmogenic ion-channel remodeling in the heart.

Papers listed on taxonomy pages are the top few works per node from the OpenAlex snapshot. That list is not exhaustive and is not an endorsement. The topic map and the journal registry remain separate: there is still no authoritative topic-to-venue or topic-to-organization edge. Search is a lexical lookup, not a claim that a venue publishes a topic.
