Chapter 13, Problem 18P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for causing long QT syndrome in a cardiac voltage-dependent sodium channel needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The QT syndrome interrupts the repolarization over the cell membrane; thus, the cells are not ready for a later heartbeat which causes LQTS. The long QT syndrome can cause electrolyte abnormalities such as low body potassium.
