This is a position that was missing on the publishing market, comprehensively discussing the topic of channelopathies from various medical perspectives. Ideal for specialists wishing to expand their knowledge.

• Interdisciplinary approach to the topic of channelopathies
• Genetic and phenotypic aspects of neurological disorders
• Neurological, cardiovascular and muscular disorders in one study
• Current knowledge about diseases related to ion channels
• Benefits of controlling potassium conduction in the treatment of epilepsy
• Promising methods of gene therapy in the treatment of drug-resistant focal epilepsy
• Addressed to neurologists, cardiologists, diabetologists and nephrologists

Channelopathies are a group of genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous neurological disorders resulting from genetically determined defects in the functioning of ion channels. This publication covers a wide range of disorders, from neurological to cardiovascular and muscular, offering a comprehensive view of these conditions.

Currently, more and more diseases related to ion channel dysfunction are being recognized, which emphasizes the importance of current knowledge in this field. Controlling potassium conduction proves to be beneficial in the treatment of epilepsy, and gene therapy for potassium channels is one of the most promising methods for treating drug-resistant focal epilepsy.

This book is addressed to medical specialists, including neurologists, cardiologists, diabetologists and nephrologists, who want to deepen their knowledge of channelopathies and their impact on various aspects of health. The publication is a valuable source of information for medical practitioners, enabling them to better understand and treat patients with these conditions.
