Other mutations that cause increased myocardial lipid deposits, such as those in the ethanolamine kinase easily shocked (Lim et al., 2011) and in the fatty acid transporter fatp (Sujkowski et al., 2012) generate similar cardiac phenotypes, suggesting a commonality of mechanism. High sugar diets...
As a physiologist, I was shocked to see how the stimulation was titrated: just turning the settings (pulse duration and amplitude), without any clue of effectivity. Yes, when the stimuli would be too intense (too much current spread to the surroundings) local tingling or hoarseness of voice...
