SCN5A inhibits sodium(1+). 11 / 11

reach
"Mutations in SCN5A may cause sodium channel dysfunction by decreasing peak sodium current, which slows conduction and facilitates reentry based arrhythmias, and by enhancing late sodium current, which prolongs the action potential and sets the stage for early afterdepolarization and arrhythmias."
reach
"We report identification and characterization of a rare loss-of-Function (LoF) variant in the SCN5A gene that impaired sodium current density and was associated with incessant and lethal ventricular tachycardia and fibrillation (VT/VF) after administration of lidocaine to a patient with acute myocardial infarction (AMI)."
reach
"Deficient SCN5A gene mutation could decrease the function of sodium channel, decrease the I Na at depolarization and depolarization velocity and peak value of cardiomyocytes during depolarization, and block the cardiac conduction system in varying degrees, eventually leading to the occurrence of AVB [XREF_BIBR]."
