Overview
\Regulation of Cardiac Ion Channel Function: The Na+ channel (SCN5A, LQT3) and two K+ channels, HERG (LQT2) and KVLQT1 (LQT1) are linked to the inherited Long QT Syndrome and are responsible for cardiac action potential initiation and termination for each heart beat. Appropriate activation of these channels terminates each action potential allowing the next heart beat to occur in a normal fashion. Macromolecular signaling complexes involving channels may serve multiple functions including assembly, trafficking, targeting, and recycling of the channel proteins. Dynamic, beat-to-beat regulation of cardiac ion channels is likely to be precisely controlled given that both acquired and inherited ventricular arrhythmias are usually episodic and precipitated by some stimulus or stress. Moreover, such regulation may underlie the responses to cardiovascular challenges and stresses that eventually lead to maladaptive ""\""electrical remodeling""\"" with cardiac arrhythmias."""" 1199SEIU Benefit Funds |Aetna |Affinity by Molina Healthcare |Amidacare |Anthem BCBS |Anthem BCBS Healthplus |ArchCare |CDPHP |Centerlight |Centers Plan For Healthy Living |Centivo |Cigna |Elderplan |Emblem Health (GHI & HIP) |Empire Plan (NYSHIP) |Fidelis |Hamaspik |HealthFirst |Humana |Longevity Health Plan |MVP Health care |MagnaCare/Brighton |Metroplus |Multiplan |OSCAR |Partners Health Plan |Riverspring Plan/Elderserve |SOMOS |Senior Whole Health |TriCare (formerly TriWest) |United Healthcare |VNSNY Choice |VNSNY Select Health |VillageCare Max |Wellcare | Active English no Montefiore Weiler Hospital 1825 Eastchester Road Bronx New York 10467.0 US 7184303370.0 https://doctors.montefioreeinstein.org/providers/1336239169/thomas-v-mcdonald Montefiore at 1250 Waters Place 1250 Waters place Bronx New York 10461.0 US 7189208011.0 Montefiore at 1628 Eastchester 1628 Eastchester Road Bronx New York 10461.0 US.
