  robnote =      "The normal electrophysiologic behavior of the heart is
                 determined by ordered propagation of excitatory stimuli
                 that result in rapid depolarization and slow
                 repolarization, thereby generating action potentials in
                 individual myocytes. Abnormalities of impulse
                 generation, propagation, or the duration and
                 configuration of individual cardiac action potentials
                 form the basis of disorders of cardiac rhythm, a
                 continuing major public health problem for which
                 available drugs are incompletetly effective and often
                 dangerous. The integrated activity of specific ionic
                 currents generates action potentials, and the genes
                 whose expression results in the molecular components
                 underlying individual ion currents in heart have been
                 cloned. This review discusses these new tools and how
                 their application to the problem of arrhythmias is
                 generating new mechanistic insights to identify
                 patients at risk for this condition and developing
                 improved antiarrhythmic therapies.",
