Abstract
The work presented in this thesis centres on the in silico investigation of arrhythmia substrates in the inherited cardiac condition: the short QT syndrome (SQTS). It has focused on the functional consequences of the gene mutations associated with the first three variants of the SQTS; SQT1, SQT2 and SQT3.
