Cardiotoxicity of BRAF/MEK inhibitors

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapidly accelerated fibrosarcoma type B/B‐Raf proto‐oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF) and mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MEK) inhibitors have transformed outcomes in cancer therapy, particularly in melanoma. However, cardiovascular toxicities are increasingly recognized in real‐world clinical practice.

Diltiazem N‐oxide, a novel ischaemia‐activated prodrug, prevents ischaemia‐induced ventricular fibrillation without off‐target adverse effects

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Ventricular fibrillation (VF) in coronary heart disease accounts for up to 70% of sudden cardiac death. We examined whether diltiazem N‐oxide (DNO) has ischaemia‐selective antiarrhythmic activity. Experimental Approach Randomised and blinded experiments were performed in rat isolated hearts and in anaesthetised rats to ...

Rabbit models of heart disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Human heart disease is a major cause of death and disability. A variety of animal models of cardiac disease have been developed to better understand the etiology, cellular and molecular mechanisms of cardiac dysfunction and novel therapeutic strategies ...

Response to equine cardiac adverse events during sports

open access: yesEquine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Cardiac adverse events and sudden death are a feared scenario for equine veterinarians, with serious consequences for animal health, riders' safety and the social licence to operate equestrian sports. The response to equine cardiac adverse events (CAEs) during sports is poorly defined.

[Torsades de pointes].

open access: yesArchives des maladies du coeur et des vaisseaux, 1994
Torsades de pointes are defined and characterised by specific, polymorphic but organised ventricular activation on the surface electrocardiogram. They constitute episodes of rapid tachycardia which are usually short lasting and terminate spontaneously. However, they may recur and persist, leading to syncope or sudden death.

Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes: Pathophysiological mechanisms and opportunities for multiscale computational modelling and simulation

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Overview of multiscale cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes and how to model and simulate these changes using a human‐based, multiscale computational framework. Cardiac remodelling in type 2 diabetes occurs at ionic channel, protein, cellular, tissue and whole‐organ level, affecting the electrophysiological function, mechanical

QTc Prolongation in Veterans With Heroin Dependence on Methadone Maintenance Treatment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: QTc prolongation and Torsade de Ppointes have been reported in patients on methadone maintenance. Objectives: In this study, QTc was compared before and after the veteran (n = 49) was on a stable dosage of methadone for 8.72 ± 4.50 years ...

The apicobasal dispersion of ventricular repolarization in humans is associated with age and affects arrhythmia vulnerability

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend We investigated the age‐ and sex‐related differences in the apicobasal repolarization gradient (ABRG) and evaluated their possible role inventricular arrhythmia vulnerability. Electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) was performed in healthy subjects during sinus rhythm, and the average recovery time (RT) and activation–recovery ...

Caenorhabditis elegans as an in vivo model system for human inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Most genes involved in inherited primary arrhythmia syndromes (IPAS) are conserved in Caenorhabditis elegans, where genetic manipulation enables functional characterization of variants, identification of regulatory proteins, and in vivo drug testing.
