title: Remodeling of cardiac gap junctions: the relationship to the genesis of ventricular tachycardia.
abstract: Cardiac gap junctions are responsible for normal conduction properties of the ventricles. Alteration in gap junction distribution (remodeling) in ischemic heart disease is likely to be an important cause of life threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
