Lifestyle modification in atrial fibrillation: Mechanisms, phenotypes and ablation outcomes

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent sustained cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with significant morbidity, mortality and healthcare utilization. Catheter ablation is increasingly used as a rhythm‐control intervention for patients with symptomatic paroxysmal and persistent AF, yet recurrence rates remain suboptimal.

Identification of the individual cardiac contraction threshold during high‐frame‐rate stress echocardiography

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The clinical assessment of cardiovascular function during exercise using stress echocardiography is essential for accurate cardiac diagnosis. However, normal limitations of cardiac deformation responses to increasing physical exertion remain poorly understood.

Canonical and non‐canonical functions of proteins regulating mitochondrial dynamics in mammalian physiology

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Mitochondria are highly dynamic organelles that continuously remodel their architecture through coordinated cycles of fusion and fission. This review examines the four key GTPases that orchestrate mitochondrial dynamics in mammals: MFN1, MFN2, OPA1, and DRP1.

Hyperglycaemia‐induced reactive oxygen species production in cardiac ventricular myocytes differs among mammals

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend In rat and human adult ventricular myocytes, acute hyperglyceaemia (Glucose) causes increased glucose uptake (via GLUT) leading to O‐GlcNAcylation of CaMKII at Ser280, such that CaMKII activates NADPH oxidase 2 (NOX2) to increase cytosolic reactive oxygen species (ROS). That perturbs the ROS to Antioxidant (AntiOx) balance.

Computational modelling of cardiac fibroblast signalling reveals a key role for Ca2+ in driving atrial fibrillation‐associated fibrosis

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend A pre‐existing fibroblast signalling model was enhanced by integrating atrial‐specific components and reactions linked to atrial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation (AF). The analysis highlights the central role of Ca2⁺ signalling in driving profibrotic responses to AF‐relevant stimuli, angiotensin‐II and transforming growth factor ...

The role of extracellular vesicles in cell–cell crosstalk in cardiotoxicity

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Administration of a pharmacological agent can result in off‐target cardiotoxicity which can be driven by cell–cell crosstalk between healthy and dysfunctional cardiac cells. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid bilayer structures that can move biological cargo between cells, facilitating cell–cell crosstalk.
