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 ...

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).

Sacubitril Does Not Exert Proarrhythmic Effects in Combination with Different Antiarrhythmic Drugs
Background: Previous studies suggest a direct effect of sacubitril on cardiac electrophysiology and indicate potential arrhythmic interactions between sacubitril and antiarrhythmic drugs.

QT prolongation, a risk factor for arrhythmias, can result from genetic variants in one (or more) of the genes governing cardiac repolarization as well as intake of drugs known to affect a cardiac K+ channel encoded by human ether-a-go-go–related gene ...

Prolactin Inhibition to Treat Postpartum Arrhythmic Storm
Postpartum electrical storm due to torsade de pointes is a rare but life-threatening condition. The uniqueness of this case lies in the use of cabergoline to suppress postpartum ventricular arrhythmias in absence of heart disease.

Screening for QT Prolongation in the Emergency Department: Is There a Better “Rule of Thumb?” [PDF]
Introduction: Identification of QT prolongation in the emergency department (ED) is critical for appropriate monitoring, disposition, and treatment of patients at risk for torsades de pointes (TdP).

Predictive Analytics for Identification of Patients at Risk for QT Interval Prolongation – A Systematic Review [PDF]
Prolongation of the heart rate‐corrected QT (QTc) interval increases the risk for torsades de pointes (TdP), a potentially fatal arrhythmia. The likelihood of TdP is higher in patients with risk factors, which include female sex, older age, heart failure

Pharmacological cardioversion of atrial fibrillation--a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicentre, dose-escalation study of AZD1305 given intravenously [PDF]
Aim AZD1305 is a combined ion channel blocker developed for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to determine whether AZD1305 was effective in converting AF to sinus rhythm (SR).
