Patients with sustained ventricular tachyarrhythmias are at high risk for sudden cardiac death. The mechanisms leading to multiple temporally related episodes of ventricular fibrillation (VF) are not yet fully elucidated, and treatment options are limited. We investigated whether K(ATP)-channels could be involved in triggering VF.
