Popis: We demonstrated that pharmacological nNOS inhibition increased the atrial arrhythmia inducibility and a specific small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channel blocker, apamin, reversed the enhanced atrial arrhythmia inducibility. Apamin mitigated APD abbreviation without alteration of Ca2+ transient, implying an underlying mechanism of posttranslational modification of SK channels.
