Graph convolutional regression of cardiac depolarization from sparse endocardial maps [PDF]
Electroanatomic mapping as routinely acquired in ablation therapy of ventricular tachycardia is the gold standard method to identify the arrhythmogenic substrate. To reduce the acquisition time and still provide maps with high spatial resolution, we propose a novel deep learning method based on graph convolutional neural networks to estimate the ...

Abstract Aims Refractory electrical storm (ES) is a life‐threatening condition in which heart transplantation (HTx) can be proposed. Nevertheless, the shortage of donors and subsequent outcomes question its place as a rescue strategy. We aim to describe the prognosis of ES patients listed for HTx but not transplanted.

Mutation update for the ACTN2 gene
Abstract ACTN2 encodes alpha‐actinin‐2, a protein expressed in human cardiac and skeletal muscle. The protein, located in the sarcomere Z‐disk, functions as a link between the anti‐parallel actin filaments. This important structural protein also binds N‐terminal titins, and thus contributes to sarcomere stability.

Just Sinus Bradycardia or Something More Serious?
An asymptomatic 5-year-old girl presented with bradycardia during a routine well-child visit. Further evaluation revealed profound sinus bradycardia, exercise-induced bidirectional ventricular tachycardia, and supraventricular tachycardia.

Learning disentangled representation from 12-lead electrograms: application in localizing the origin of Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
The increasing availability of electrocardiogram (ECG) data has motivated the use of data-driven models for automating various clinical tasks based on ECG data. The development of subject-specific models are limited by the cost and difficulty of obtaining sufficient training data for each individual.

Abstract Aims Biomarkers are pivotal in the management of heart failure (HF); however, their lack of cardiac specificity could limit clinical utility. This study aimed to investigate the transcoronary changes and intracardiac production of these biomarkers.

KBTBD13 is a novel cardiomyopathy gene
Abstract KBTBD13 variants cause nemaline myopathy type 6 (NEM6). The majority of NEM6 patients harbors the Dutch founder variant, c.1222C>T, p.Arg408Cys (KBTBD13 p.R408C). Although KBTBD13 is expressed in cardiac muscle, cardiac involvement in NEM6 is unknown. Here, we constructed pedigrees of three families with the KBTBD13 p.R408C variant.
