Obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation: insights from a bidirectional Mendelian randomization study

BMC Medical Genomics, 2022
Background Observational studies have suggested that obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is in relation to atrial fibrillation (AF); however, these studies might be confounded and whether the relationship is causal remains unclear. We conducted a bidirectional

Cardioprotective effects of dantrolene in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy in mice

Heart Rhythm O2, 2021
Background: Doxorubicin (Dox) is a potent chemotherapeutic agent, but its usage is limited by dose-dependent cardiotoxicity. Intracellular calcium dysregulation has been reported to be involved in doxorubicin-induced cardiomyopathy (DICM).

Sex-related differences in risk factors, type of treatment received and outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation and acute stroke: Results from the RAF-study (Early Recurrence and Cerebral Bleeding in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke and Atrial Fibrillation) [PDF]

, 2016
Introduction: Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor of thromboembolism. Women with atrial fibrillation are at a higher overall risk for stroke compared to men with atrial fibrillation. The aim of this study was to evaluate for sex differences
