This book is based on papers presented at a Symposium held in
Seoul, Korea in 1992. The idea for the symposium developed
naturally from work in which Professor Yung E Earm, at Seoul
National University, had been involved both in my laboratory in
Oxford and in his own laboratory in Seoul concerning the possible
role of certain amino acids, like taurine that are strongly
concentrated by the cells of the heart, and the relationship
between such acids and membrane ionic currents. The first obvious
question was whether it is possible to identify the transport
mechanisms involved for taurine and whether they are electrogenic.
The second question is what function could be served by such
processes: does taurine play an essential role in cardiac tissue
and is this important in protecting the heart from disease? With
his colleagues in the Korean Physiological Society, Professor Earm
set about the task of fmancing and organizing a meeting at which
some of the world's leading cardiac electrophysiologists and
taurine specialists could discuss these questions. The fmance was
generously provided by the Dong-A Pharmaceutical Company, one of
the leading scientific companies in Korea.
