Oral factor Xa inhibitors for stroke prevention in patients with device-detected atrial fibrillation – Recent evidence from the NOAH-AFNET 6 and ARTESiA trials

Cardiologia Hungarica
Device-detected atrial fibrillation (AF), also known as atrial high rate episodes, is a frequent finding in patients with a cardiac implantable electronic device such as a pacemaker, or an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator or loop recorder.

Risk Stratification for Sudden Cardiac Death In Patients With Non-ischemic Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

, 2005
Non ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (NIDCM) is a disorder of myocardium. It has varying etiologies. Albeit the varying etiologies of this heart muscle disorder, it presents with symptoms of heart failure, and rarely as sudden cardiac death (SCD ...

Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen Syndrome Related Clinical Genetics and Experimental Models

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Jervell and Lange‐Nielsen syndrome (JLNS) is defined by electrocardiographic QT prolongation and sensorineural hearing loss, caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous variants in KCNQ1 and/or KCNE1. KCNQ1 encodes the alpha subunit Kv7.1 of the ion channels accountable for slow delayed rectifier potassium currents (IKs), whereas KCNE1 ...

A novel selective stabilizer of the ryanodine receptor 2 prevents stress‐induced ventricular arrhythmias without impairing cardiac function

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Aberrant activation of type 2 ryanodine receptors (RyR2) causes lethal arrhythmias, such as catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT). Developing drugs that suppress RyR2 hyperactivation may be key to novel arrhythmia treatments.

Predictors of Late Mortality in D‐Transposition of the Great Arteries After Atrial Switch Repair: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Existing data on predictors of late mortality and prevention of sudden cardiac death after atrial switch repair surgery for D‐transposition of the great arteries (D‐TGA) are heterogeneous and limited by statistical power.

Prognostic Value of Small Coved‐Type ST‐Segment Area in Patients With Spontaneous Type 1 Brugada Syndrome

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
Electrical and structural abnormalities in Brugada syndrome lead to a smaller coved‐type ST‐segment area. A reduced ST‐segment area may identify patients at elevated risk of ventricular fibrillation. ABSTRACT Background Risk stratification in Brugada syndrome (BrS) remains challenging.
