Atrial fibrillation and electrophysiology in transgenic mice with cardiac-restricted overexpression of FKBP12 [PDF]
Cardiomyocyte-restricted overexpression of FK506-binding protein 12 transgenic (αMyHC-FKBP12) mice develop spontaneous atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of the present study is to explore the mechanisms underlying the occurrence of AF in αMyHC-FKBP12 ...

Suppression of VF storm in ERS with SCN5A mutation using isoproterenol. ABSTRACT A 58‐year‐old man experienced a ventricular fibrillation storm with prominent inferolateral J waves and was diagnosed with early repolarization syndrome. Initial coronary angiography showed no significant stenosis and the other evaluations for ventricular fibrillation were

Treatment of Anxiety and Depression in a Patient with Brugada Syndrome
Background. Brugada syndrome is rare and has been a clinically diagnosable entity since 1992. Its clinical manifestations are highly variable, and while some patients remain asymptomatic, others endure sudden cardiac death.

Diagnosi molecolare di sindrome di Brugada in un giovane atleta mediante il sequenziamento di un pannello multigenico con tecniche di nuova generazione [PDF]
Mutations in genes driving the molecular pathways that regulate myocardial functions can predispose to many independent cardiopathies and also to sudden cardiac death (SCD) even in asymptomatic subjects. The overlapping clinical signs or symptoms or even

ABSTRACT Clinical genomics and pharmacogenomics have largely remained separate fields, though some genetic variants have overlapping disease risk and drug implications. However, the extent of this overlap is not well studied. To explore this gap, we cross‐referenced genes from the American College of Medical Genetics Secondary Findings v3.2 list with ...

Brugada syndrome in childhood: a potential fatal arrhythmia not always recognised by paediatricians. A case report and review of the literature [PDF]
We report on a youngster followed by his paediatrician from birth until 14years of age for premature beats, most likely of ventricular origin. The sudden death of his sister provoked a re-assessment of his electrocardiograms (ECG), resulting in the ...

Identification of N-terminal protein acetylation and arginine methylation of the voltage-gated sodium channel in end-stage heart failure human heart [PDF]
The α subunit of the cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel, Naᵥ1.5, provides the rapid sodium inward current that initiates cardiomyocyte action potentials.

Identification of Two Rare Variants in Iranian Families With Familial Sudden Cardiac Death
Cellular action potential is characterized by a particular sequence of depolarizing and repolarizing ion currents regulated by ion channels. Genetic mutations in these channels disrupt the essential movement of ions, such as Na+, Ca++, and K+, across the cell membrane, leading to dangerous arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Suspected Brugada Phenocopy Secondary to Coronary Slow Flow
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a genetic condition that accentuates the risk of potentially lethal ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a structurally normal heart. The Brugada electrocardiographic pattern may manifest separately from the
