Clinical evidence indicates that in hypertension, acute fluctuations in blood pressure can trigger ventricular arrhythmias. Single cell rabbit studies suggest that these stretch-induced arrhythmias (SIA) are related to increased microtubule (MT) density or detyrosination and depend on transient receptor potential ankyrin 1 channels (TRPA1). However, whether these mechanisms of SIA apply to the whole heart is unknown.
