Calcium channelopathies
Calcium channelopathies are a group of medical conditions caused by malfunctions in calcium channels, which are proteins that help control the flow of calcium ions into and out of cells. Calcium is vital for many functions in the body, including muscle contraction, heart rhythm, and nerve signaling. When these channels do not work properly, it can lead to various health issues, such as heart problems, muscle disorders, and neurological conditions. Understanding calcium channelopathies is crucial for diagnosing and treating these complex conditions effectively.
