(BQ) Part 2 book "Heart rate and rhythm molecular basis pharmacological modulation and clinical implications" presents the following contents: Mechanisms of inherited arrhythmia, role of specific channels and transporters in arrhythmia, drugs and cardiac arrhythmia. | PartV Mechanisms of Inherited Arrhythmia Chapter 21 Intracellular Calcium Handling and Inherited Arrhythmogenic Diseases Nicola Monteforte Carlo Napolitano Raffaella Bloise and Silvia G. Priori Introduction Diseases caused by a single genetic defect are referred to as monogenic disorders. These disorders are inherited as dominant or recessive traits with different inheritance patterns autosomal dominant autosomal recessive X-linked dominant X-linked recessive matrilineal transmission . In cardiology there are two major clusters of monogenic disorders a the cardiomyopathies due to alterations in sarcomeric and in cytoskeletal proteins and b the arrhythmogenic diseases that are caused by mutations in ion channels and ion channel-controlling proteins such as the long QT syndromes LQTS the Brugada syndromes the short QT syndromes SQTS and the catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia CPVT .
