Defects in cardiac electric impulse formation or conduction can lead to an irregular beat (arrhythmia) that can cause sudden death without any apparent cause or after stress. In the following sections, we describe the genetic disorders associated with primary cardiac conduction defects, primarily caused by mutations in ion channel genes. Primary indicates that these disorders are not caused by drugs and are not secondary to other disorders like cardiomyopathies (described in the next section).
心脏电冲动形成或传导方面的缺陷可导致心律不齐(心律失常),这种情况可能在没有任何明显原因或在应激后导致猝死。在以下章节中,我们将描述与原发性心脏传导缺陷相关的遗传性疾病,这些疾病主要由离子通道基因突变引起。原发性意味着这些疾病不是由药物引起的,也不是继发于其他疾病,如心肌病(将在下一节中描述)。
