Clinical and functional characterization of a novel mutation in lamin a/c gene in a multigenerational family with arrhythmogenic cardiac laminopathy.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Mutations in the lamin A/C gene (LMNA) were associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and, recently, were related to severe forms of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC).

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy in monozygotic twin sisters, and persistent left superior vena cava in one complicating implantation of ICD

Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği Arşivi, 2015
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterized histologically by fibro-fatty replacement of heart muscle, and clinically by ventricular arrhythmias and right ventricular dysfunction.

In silico predictions of action potential propagation in doxorubicin cardiotoxicity: A parametric study using preclinical 3D magnetic resonance imaging‐based fibrotic left ventricle models

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic overview of the study's methodology and key findings. In a preclinical swine model, doxorubicin administration induced cardiotoxicity, characterized by diffuse fibrotic remodelling and altered electrical function, as assessed by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and electrophysiological mapping.

Rabbit models of heart disease. [PDF]

, 2008
Human heart disease is a major cause of death and disability. A variety of animal models of cardiac disease have been developed to better understand the etiology, cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction and novel therapeutic strategies ...

Filamin C Truncation Mutations Are Associated With Arrhythmogenic Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Changes in the Cell-Cell Adhesion Structures. [PDF]

, 2018
OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to assess the phenotype of Filamin C (FLNC) truncating variants in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and understand the mechanism leading to an arrhythmogenic phenotype. BACKGROUND: Mutations in FLNC are known to lead

Sudden cardiac death in patients with nonischemic cardiomyopathy

Indian Heart Journal, 2014
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is an important cause of mortality worldwide. Although SCD is most often associated with coronary heart disease, the risk of SCD in patients without ischemic heart disease is well-established.

Small‐conductance Ca2⁺‐activated K⁺ channels in cardiac excitation–contraction coupling: Bridging mitochondria, sarcolemma and antiarrhythmic therapy

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondrial SK channel enhancement reduces cardiac arrhythmia trigger. Spontaneous sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release via hyperactive RyR2s underlies an increased arrhythmia trigger, promoting early and delayed afterdepolarizations during stress. Hyperactive RyR2s causes rise in cytosolic [Ca2+] during diastole. Clearance

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.

Intercalated disk structure, tissue heterogeneity and ion channel distribution modulate conduction and local calcium influx

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A, three‐dimensional representation of cardiac intercalated disk, reduced to a 100‐partition, computationally efficient network representation. B, ion dynamics within intercalated disk extracellular cleft space. C, rapid pacing leads to localized conduction block in tissue with regions of perturbed intercalated disk (ID ...

Striatins as plaque molecules of zonulae adhaerentes in simple epithelia, of tessellate junctions in stratified epithelia, of cardiac composite junctions and of various size classes of lateral adherens junctions in cultures of epithelia- and carcinoma-derived cells [PDF]

, 2014
Proteins of the striatin family (striatins 1–4; sizes ranging from 90 to 110 kDa on SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) are highly homologous in their amino acid sequences but can differ in their cell-type-specific gene expression patterns and ...
