What is the Clinical Significance of Electrical Excitability?
Abnormalities in electrical excitability can lead to various medical conditions. For example, defects in ion channels can cause channelopathies, which are disorders characterized by dysfunctional ion channels. Epilepsy, cardiac arrhythmias, and certain muscle diseases are examples of conditions resulting from abnormal electrical excitability. Understanding these mechanisms is crucial for developing targeted therapies.
