An interplay between Ca<sup>2+</sup>/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase IIδc (CaMKIIδc) and late Na<sup>+</sup> current (I<sub>NaL</sub>) is known to induce arrhythmias in the failing heart. Here, we elucidate the role of the sodium channel isoform Na<sub>V</sub>1.8 for CaMKIIδc-dependent proarrhythmia. In a CRISPR-Cas9-generated human iPSC-cardiomyocyte homozygous knock-out of Na<sub>V</sub>1.8, we demonstrate that Na<sub>V</sub>1.8 contributes to I<sub>NaL</sub> formation. In addition, we rev ...[more]
