Optogenetic manipulation of cardiac repolarization gradients using sub-threshold illumination

Introduction: Mechanisms underlying cardiac arrhythmias are typically driven by abnormalities in cardiac conduction and/or heterogeneities in repolarization time (RT) across the heart. While conduction slowing can be caused by either electrophysiological defects or physical blockade in cardiac tissu...
