Title: The hERG cardial potassium channel
Description: This book draws together contributions from basic, pharmaceutical and clinical sciences and regulatory authority perspectives aimed at a better understanding of the structure and function of hERG, the molecular basis for compound binding and preferred preclinical test systems. Topics include hERG channel gating, regulation of functional expression, pharmacological properties of hERG/IKr channels, drug-induced long QT syndrome and preclinical evaluation and regulatory recommendations for assessing QT prolongation risks.
Subjects: Pathophysiology, Heart, Potassium channels, Congresses, Physiology, Long QT syndrome, Cardiovascular system, programmed instruction, Potassium Channels, Voltage-Gated, Chemistry, Physiopathology, Arrhythmia
