Various pathological conditions can alter cardiac electrophysiological properties not only by physiological responses but also by modifying the gene expression of ion channels (electrical remodelling). To investigate the underlying mechanisms of the latter, electrophysiological alterations would require a simultaneous and comprehensive analysis of the mRNA level of the ion channel genes.
