Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Recurrent Syncope in a Young Man: What Lies Underneath?
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is an autosomal dominant genetic disease which leads to fatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, leading to the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmia.

Arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy
Arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy (AVC) is a heritable heart muscle disorder characterized by fibrofatty infiltration of the myocardium. Intramyocardial fat deposition is considered arrhythmogenic and predisposes patients to life-threatening arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death.

Abstract figure legend A sudden decrease in total peripheral resistance (TPR), as observed during vasovagal syncope, leads to a reduction in aortic systolic pressure (AO pressure) and afterload. In healthy individuals, the consequent decrease in left ventricular systolic pressure (LV pressure) lowers stroke work and myocardial energy expenditure.

Time spent with cats is never wasted: Lessons learned from feline acromegalic cardiomyopathy, a naturally occurring animal model of the human disease [PDF]
BackgroundIn humans, acromegaly due to a pituitary somatotrophic adenoma is a recognized cause of increased left ventricular (LV) mass. Acromegalic cardiomyopathy is incompletely understood, and represents a major cause of morbidity and mortality.

Functional Effects of the TMEM43 Ser358Leu Mutation in the Pathogenesis of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: The Ser358Leu mutation in TMEM43, encoding an inner nuclear membrane protein, has been implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The pathogenetic mechanisms of this mutation are poorly understood.
