Leveraging a Genetic Proxy to Investigate the Effects of Lifelong Cardiac Sodium Channel Blockade.

Circulation·December 16, 2025·PMID 41277422

Why it matters

It provides human genetic evidence for the long-term effects of cardiac sodium channel blockade, revealing both antiarrhythmic benefits and risks (e.g., post-MI harm) that are difficult to study in trials. This can inform drug development and risk stratification.
