Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy associated with severe left ventricular involvement in a cat. [PDF]
An 8-year-old, 4 kg, intact female, domestic shorthaired cat was referred for tachypnea and pleural effusion. A 24-h Holter recording showed numerous polymorphic ventricular premature complexes with left and right bundle branch block morphology ...

Novel Echocardiographic Index for Risk Stratification of Ventricular Arrhythmias and Mortality Based on Right Ventricular Function. [PDF]
Patients undergoing ICD implantation with both preprocedural echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were retrospectively analyzed to assess right ventricular (RV) function. Echocardiographic RV fractional area change (RVFAC) and the contraction pressure index (CPI), as well as CMR‐derived RV ejection fraction (RVEF), predicted ...

Hepatocyte growth factor gene therapy reduces ventricular arrhythmia in animal models of myocardial ischemia. [PDF]
It was recently reported that gene therapy using hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has the potential to preserve cardiac function after myocardial ischemia. We speculated that this HGF gene therapy could also prevent ventricular arrhythmia.

Antiarrhythmic and proarrhythmic effects of subcutaneous nerve stimulation in ambulatory dogs [PDF]
Background High output subcutaneous nerve stimulation (ScNS) remodels the stellate ganglia and suppresses cardiac arrhythmia. Objective To test the hypothesis that long duration low output ScNS causes cardiac nerve sprouting, increases plasma ...

Micro-RNAs of the miR-15 family modulate cardiomyocyte survival and cardiac repair [PDF]
A family of microRNAs, called the miR-15 family, which includes miR-195, are shown to be up-regulated during pathological cardiac remodeling and repress the expression of mRNAs required for cell proliferation and survival, with consequent loss of ...

Micro-RNA family that modulates fibrosis and uses thereof [PDF]
The present invention relates to the identification of a microRNA family, designated miR-29a-c, that is a key regulator of fibrosis in cardiac tissue. The inventors show that members of the miR-29 family are down-regulated in the heart tissue in response

Connexin43 Deficiency Leads to Ventricular Arrhythmias by Reprogramming Proline Metabolism
The study demonstrated that connexin43 (Cx43) knockout caused arrhythmic phenotype and decreased proline content in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Cx43 interacts with the amino acid transporter SNAT2 (sodium‐dependent neutral amino acid transporter), and its deficiency disrupts proline transport and metabolism.
