Research summary
AI-generated

D. Ryan King's research focuses on the electrical activity of the heart, particularly how structural features between heart cells (such as the perinexus and connexins) and factors like sodium, potassium, and calcium levels influence irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). Work also explores how viral infections, aging, and genetic conditions like Long QT syndrome type 3 affect heart rhythm risk, often using animal heart models (guinea pig) and laboratory perfusion techniques. This research is aimed at understanding the biological mechanisms behind arrhythmia to inform future clinical treatments.
