Abstract

The sodium–calcium exchanger (NCX) is known as the transporter that controls the concentration of Ca2+ in cardiac myocytes. In the setting of heart failure and myocardial ischemia-reperfusion, NCX underlies an arrhythmogenic transient inward current responsible for delayed after––depolarizations and nonreentrant initiation of ventricular tachycardia. NCX is an attractive target for treatment in heart failure and myocardial ...
