Late sodium current in the pathophysiology of cardiovascular disease: consequences of sodium-calcium overload.
Late sodium current in cardiac cells is very small compared with the fast component, but as it flows throughout the action potential it may make a substantial contribution to sodium loading during each cardiac cycle. Late sodium current may contribute to triggering arrhythmia in two ways: by causing...
