Therapeutic Approaches to Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Targeting Atrial Fibrosis

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, 2017
Atrial fibrosis is the fundamental histopathologic finding in atrial fibrillation (AF) patients and an important predictor of ablation failure beyond pulmonary vein isolation. There is wide variation in the extent and localization of left atrial fibrosis in patients with paroxysmal and nonparoxysmal AF.

Equine models in translational medicine: A comparative approach to human health

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This diagram summarizes and contrasts rodent and equine models, outlining their strengths, limitations, and applications. Horses offer naturally occurring diseases, genetic and physiological similarities to humans, and suitability for longitudinal and clinical‐scale studies.

A G protein-gated K channel is activated via beta 2-adrenergic receptors and G beta gamma subunits in Xenopus oocytes [PDF]

, 1995
In many tissues, inwardly rectifying K channels are coupled to seven- helix receptors via the Gi/Go family of heterotrimeric G proteins. This activation proceeds at least partially via G beta gamma subunits.

Age and gender effects on echocardiographic and histopathological cardiac phenotypes in healthy adult mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study investigated the impact of age and sex on cardiac phenotypes in healthy adult C57BL/6J mice using echocardiography and histopathological analyses. Findings revealed that female mice demonstrated more pronounced global cardiac chamber dilation during aging.

The role of inhibitory G proteins and regulators of G protein signaling in the in vivo control of heart rate and predisposition to cardiac arrhythmias [PDF]

, 2012
Inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins and the control of heart rate. The activation of cell signaling pathways involving inhibitory heterotrimeric G proteins acts to slow the heart rate via modulation of ion channels.

Porcine kidney xenotransplantation: From primate models to clinical reality

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the face of a critical shortage of human donor kidneys for end‐stage renal disease patients, porcine kidney xenotransplantation has emerged as a viable solution. This field has navigated major hurdles, including immune rejection, physiological incompatibilities, potential biomechanical differences and the risk of cross‐species infection. To overcome

Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptors: do they have a therapeutic potential in cardiac fibrosis? [PDF]

, 2017
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that is characterized by a peculiar mechanism of action. In fact, S1P, which is produced inside the cell, can act as an intracellular mediator, whereas after its export outside the cell, it can act as ...

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced‐Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Systemic Sclerosis With Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective High‐intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced systemic sclerosis (SSc). The role of reduced‐intensity conditioning (RIC) before AHSCT in this population remains unclear.

Telomere Length Is Associated With Adverse Atrial Remodeling in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with a massive burden on global health. The prevalence of AF increases dramatically with age and can be up to 18% in patients older than 80 years.
