Incidence and predictors of premature ventricular complexes following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, and previous studies have focused on the epidemiology, mechanisms and risk factors for this global disease (Ryder and Benjamin 1999). Various studies have examined the mechanism,

Bidirectional ventricular tachycardia in cardiac sarcoidosis. [PDF]

, 2016
A 73-year-old man with history of pulmonary sarcoidosis was found to have runs of non-sustained bidirectional ventricular tachycardia (BVT) with two different QRS morphologies on a Holter monitor.

LncRNA Foxo6os as a Novel “ Scaffold” Mediates MYBPC3 in Combating Pathological Cardiac Hypertrophy and Heart Failure

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic overview showing that forkhead box O6, opposite strand (Foxo6os) acts as a “scaffold”, directly binding myosin‐binding protein‐C (MYBPC3) and recruiting protein kinase C (PKC‐α) to mediate site‐specific phosphorylation of MYBPC3. This post‐translational modification supports cardiac contraction by regulating L‐type Ca2+ channels, especially ...

Logistic regression analysis of populations of electrophysiological models to assess proarrythmic risk. [PDF]

, 2016
Population-based computational approaches have been developed in recent years and helped to gain insight into arrhythmia mechanisms, and intra- and inter-patient variability (e.g., in drug responses). Here, we illustrate the use of multivariable logistic

Atrial Fibroblasts‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Exacerbate Atrial Arrhythmogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Exosome miR‐224‐5p derived from angiotensin II‐treated atrial fibroblasts creates a substrate for AF by promoting atrial electrical remodeling. Increased exosome miR‐224‐5p enhances AF susceptibility by inhibiting CACNA1c expression and decreasing ICa current of atrial cardiomyocytes.

Mortality in Patients on Renal Replacement Therapy and Permanent Cardiac Pacemakers

International Journal of Nephrology, 2014
End stage renal disease is a relatively frequent disease with high mortality due to cardiac causes. Permanent pacemaker (PM) implantation rates are also very common; thus combination of both conditions is not unusual.

PIEZO Force Sensing in Vascular Biology: An Explosion of New Knowledge, Concepts and Opportunity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Knowledge of the remarkable mechanical force sensing and electrically transducing PIEZO1 and PIEZO2 channels is discussed across vascular biology and its cell types from the embryonic to adult stages in health, disease and old age. How the channels work, relate to other factors and signal for tissue responses to mechanical forces is debated.

A Novel Theoretical Hypothesis on Comorbidity in the Elderly—The Disease of Sympathetic Overdrive (DSO)

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
A novel hypothesis: The disease of sympathetic overdrive (DSO) as a unifying mechanism for comorbidity in the elderly. ABSTRACT The coexistence of multimorbidity and geriatric syndromes is a big character and role target to manage for the clinic works in older age, but related theories still require innovation and exploration.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice on Atrial Fibrillation and Atrial Fibrillation Screening in High‐Risk Population: A Cross‐Sectional Study

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Distribution of KAP scores for participants ≤ 65 versus > 65 years. ABSTRACT Objectives Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common clinical arrhythmia. Failure to identify AF leaves patients at a considerably higher risk of disability and death, making its early screening and prevention extremely important. This study aimed to investigate knowledge, attitude,
