Voltage-gated sodium (Nav1.5) channels support the genesis and brisk spatial propagation of action potentials in the heart. Disruption of Na
V
1.5 inactivation results in a small persistent Na influx known as late Na current (
I
Na,L
), which has emerged as a common pathogenic mechanism in both congenital and acquired cardiac arrhythmogenic syndromes. Here, using low-noise multi-channel recordings in heterologous systems, LQTS3 patient-derived iPSCs cardiomyocytes, and mouse ventricular myocytes, we demonstrate that the intracellular fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHF1–4) tune pathogenic
I
Na,L
in an isoform-specific manner. This scheme suggests a complex orchestration of
I
Na,L
in cardiomyocytes that may contribute to variable disease expressivity of Na
V
1.5 channelopathies. We further leverage these observations to engineer a peptide-inhibitor of
I
Na,L
with a higher efficacy as compared to a well-established small-molecule inhibitor. Overall, these findings lend insights into molecular mechanisms underlying FHF regulation of
I
Na,L
in pathophysiology and outline potential therapeutic avenues.
