The self-maintaining nature of ventricular fibrillation : contribution of L-type Ca²+ channels and Na+/Ca²+ exchange to cardiomyocyte Ca²+ overload in ventricular fibrillation : surface fluorescence study in isolated perfused rat hearts [PDF]

, 2004
Approximately 40% of all deaths in Switzerland are due to cardiovascular diseases.1 An important part of these deaths happen because of life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias.

The difficult discussion on the deactivation of implantable cardioverter devices at the end of life: a systematic review

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 733-760, April 2025.
Abstract Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) reliably prevent death due to life‐threatening arrhythmias; this may become less relevant in people with more severe heart failure who are reaching the end of life (EOL). This review aimed to explore the ICD deactivation process and identify ethical issues, especially around the initiation of ...

Diabetes mellitus attenuates the repolarization reserve in mammalian heart [PDF]

, 2007
Objective: In diabetes mellitus several cardiac electrophysiological parameters are known to be affected. In rodent experimental diabetes models changes in these parameters were reported, but no such data are available in other mammalian species ...

Role of selenium in the pathophysiology of cardiorenal anaemia syndrome

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 770-780, April 2025.
Abstract Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) have multiple bidirectional mechanisms, and anaemia is one of the critical factors that are associated with the progression of the two disorders [referred to as cardiorenal anaemia syndrome (CRAS)].

Atrial cellular electrophysiological changes in patients with ventricular dysfunction may predispose to AF [PDF]

, 2009
<b>Background:</b> Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AF), but the atrial cellular electrophysiological mechanisms in humans are unclear.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Increased levels of sST2 in patients with mitral annulus disjunction and ventricular arrhythmias

, 2019
Objective Displacement of the mitral valve, mitral annulus disjunction (MAD), is described as a possible aetiology of sudden cardiac death. Stress-induced fibrosis in the mitral valve apparatus has been suggested as the underlying mechanism.

Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy: Literature review and red‐flag symptom clusters for each cardiology specialty

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 955-967, April 2025.
Abstract Wild‐type transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTRwt‐CM) is a progressive and infiltrative cardiac disorder that may cause fatal consequences if left untreated. The estimated survival time from diagnosis is approximately 3–6 years. Because of the non‐specificity of initial symptom manifestation and insufficient awareness among treating ...

N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide and cardiorenal outcome in patients with anaemia in chronic kidney disease

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 848-858, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Blood levels of N‐terminal pro‐brain natriuretic peptide (NT‐proBNP) may be modified by low renal clearance and anaemia. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of the blood NT‐proBNP level on cardiovascular and renal outcomes in patients with these two manifestations.
