Acute effects of sex steroid hormones on susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmias: a simulation study.

Acute effects of sex steroid hormones likely contribute to the observation that post-pubescent males have shorter QT intervals than females. However, the specific role for hormones in modulating cardiac electrophysiological parameters and arrhythmia vulnerability is unclear. Here we use a computatio...
