PO-05-201 PHARMACOLOGICAL MODULATION OF THE ARRHYTHMIC SUBSTRATE IN TIMOTHY SYNDROME: A PORCINE MODEL STUDY

HeartRhythm

Contemporary antiarrhythmic treatment of Timothy syndrome 1 (TS1) is inadequate to prevent sudden cardiac death. Using electroanatomic mapping (EAM) we discovered cardiac activation delay, which creates the milieu for functional reentrant ventricular arrhythmias.
