Figure 7.

Summary of ion fluxes for WT, hyperKPP, and hypoKPP for elevation and reduction of K + . Shown graphically are the distinct, inappropriate ion fluxes caused by pathologic depolarizing currents in hyperKPP and hypoKPP. Both the size of arrows and the number of K+ and Na+ ions shown represent the magnitude of ion flux in each setting. Reduction in ion movement is depicted by thin, dotted line arrows and faint ions. NaP is persistent Na+ current, Kir is the inward rectifying K+ channel, and GP is the gating pore current. Andersen–Tawil syndrome is not included because the differences in K+ and Na+ influx and efflux compared with WT are small.
