Sodium leak through K2P potassium channels and cardiac arrhythmia, an emerging theme. [PDF]
In this issue of EMBO Molecular Medicine, Decher et al (2017) identify a point mutation in the K2P2 (TREK‐1) potassium (K+) channel that changes function in just those ways expected to predispose to right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) ventricular

Risk of Ventricular Arrhythmia with Citalopram and Escitalopram: A Population-Based Study. [PDF]
The risk of ventricular arrhythmia with citalopram and escitalopram is controversial. In this study we investigated the association between these two drugs and the risk of ventricular arrhythmia.We conducted a population-based retrospective cohort study ...

Gene Transfer of Engineered Calmodulin Alleviates Ventricular Arrhythmias in a Calsequestrin-Associated Mouse Model of Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a familial arrhythmogenic syndrome characterized by sudden death. There are several genetic forms of CPVT associated with mutations in genes encoding the cardiac ryanodine receptor (RyR2 ...

Background: Principal mechanisms of arrhythmia have been derived from ventricular but not atrial cardiomyocytes of animal models despite higher prevalence of atrial arrhythmia (e.g., atrial fibrillation). Due to significant ultrastructural and functional

Hepatocyte growth factor gene therapy reduces ventricular arrhythmia in animal models of myocardial ischemia. [PDF]
It was recently reported that gene therapy using hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) has the potential to preserve cardiac function after myocardial ischemia. We speculated that this HGF gene therapy could also prevent ventricular arrhythmia.

SEARCH OF THE STRESS INDUSED VENTRICULAR TACHICARDIA REASONS — THE METABOLIC THERAPY OPPORTUNITIES
A clinical case of a 56-year-old man is presented in which only ventricular tachycardia without clinical and ECG criteria of myocardial ischemia is recorded on the exercise test. The ventricular tachycardia was the only reason for stopping the test. This

Description of Ventricular Arrhythmia after Taking Herbal Medicines in Middle-Aged Couples
Medicinal herbs and some derivatives have been used in the treatment of heart disease which is rarely responsible for ventricular arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Ventricular tachycardia (VT) increases the risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). However, only

Decline in physical activity in the weeks preceding sustained ventricular arrhythmia in women
Background: Heightened risk of cardiac arrest following physical exertion has been reported. Among patients with an implantable defibrillator, an appropriate shock for sustained ventricular arrhythmia was preceded by a retrospective self-report of ...

Arrhythmia and its risk factors post myocardial infarction: A prospective study
Objectives: To determine the occurrence of arrhythmia and its associated risk factors in the first week after acute myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: A total of 100 patients with acute MI were recruited, who were followed up for one week to determine ...

Gap Junctions in Ischemia-Related Ventricular Arrhythmia
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, with isch-emic heart disease being the most common entity. Ventricular arrhythmia is one of the complications of ischemia that can result in sudden cardiac death.
