HF Ito Heterogeneity / Down-regulation Simulated C3MIG
Conclusions • There are several potential pathways by which CaMKII may be arrhythmogenic: • CaMKII effects on INa, ICaL and Ito combined with transmural heterogeneity of Ito and Ito down-regulation in HF may accentuate dispersion of repolarization and predispose to reentrant arrhythmias. • The in silico analysis provides a useful framework to consider pathways by which CaMKII may contribute to arrhythmogenesis and highlight novel potential therapeutic targets.
