Decreased connexin 40 expression of the sinoatrial node mediates ischemic stroke-induced arrhythmia in mice

CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, decreased connexin 40 expression in the sinoatrial node contributed to the ischemic stroke-induced cardiac arrhythmia. Therefore, enhancing connexin 40 expression holds promise as a potential therapeutic approach for ischemic stroke-induced arrhythmia.PMID:38599368 | DOI:10.1016/j.expneurol.2024.114773
