A new approach to prevent heart rhythm disorders at the cellular levelCardiff University | Professor Alan Williams
Our heart requires an electrical signal to beat correctly. If this signal breaks down, disturbances in the heart beat rhythm called arrhythmias occur. Some arrhythmias occur because the amount of calcium in the heart muscle cells is abnorma...
