Cardiac Manifestations of KCNK17 Mutations and/or Polymorphisms: A Systematic Review

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims The KCNK17 gene encodes k2p17.1 channels (TASK‐4 or TALK‐2) with dominant expressions in the atria and the Purkinje fibers. Emerging studies have suggested possible associations between KCNK17 variants and cardiovascular as well as cerebrovascular diseases. This review aimed to systematically evaluate the evidence on KCNK17

Development and Characterisation of a Starvation‐ and Exercise‐Induced Murine Model of Microvesicular Steatosis Relevant to Anorexia Nervosa

Liver International Communications, Volume 7, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Anorexia nervosa (AN) leads to severe dietary restriction, low body weight, and in many patients, hepatocellular steatosis. Clinically, hepatic fat in AN is usually macrovesicular, whereas microvesicular steatosis is more often associated with severe starvation and mitochondrial dysfunction.

Long‐Term Effect of Percutaneous Transvenous Mitral Commissurotomy on Atrial Electromechanical Delay and P‐Wave Dispersion in Patients With Severe Mitral Stenosis

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains a significant health burden, particularly in low‐ and middle‐income countries, with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) contributing substantially to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Percutaneous transvenous mitral commissurotomy (PTMC) is an effective treatment for symptomatic MS, yet its ...

Evidence regarding clinical use of microvolt T-wave alternans [Accuracy of microvolt T-wave alternans testing] [PDF]

, 2011
Background: Microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) testing in many studies has proven to be a highly accurate predictor of ventricular tachyarrhythmic events (VTEs) in patients with risk factors for sudden cardiac death (SCD) but without a prior history of ...

Inferior‐Lead Lambda (λ) Wave Revealing Critical Right Coronary Artery Stenosis: A Case Report

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.
Lambda (λ) wave pattern observed in the inferior leads (II, III, aVF) associated with critical 95% stenosis of the right coronary artery. Percutaneous coronary intervention with drug‐eluting stent deployment resulted in complete resolution of the λ wave abnormality and long‐term clinical stability from 2020 to 2024.

Modifiable Risk Factors in Atrial Fibrillation: Clinical Implications and Pathophysiological Insights

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 2, March 2026.
Modifiable cardiometabolic and lifestyle factors converge on shared atrial mechanisms, including fibrosis, autonomic imbalance, and electrical remodeling, to promote AF initiation and recurrence. Targeting these upstream drivers through structured risk‐factor management enhances rhythm‐control durability and improves long‐term clinical outcomes ...

Quantitative Histological Insights Into Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome: Findings From a Forensic Autopsy Cohort

APMIS, Volume 134, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Sudden arrhythmic death syndrome (SADS) is a major cause of sudden cardiac death in young individuals, characterized by structurally normal hearts and negative toxicology. Although guidelines recommend family screening, phenotyping remains challenging.
