Restricting excessive cardiac action potential and QT prolongation: a vital role for IKs in human ventricular muscle [PDF]
, 2005 Background - Although pharmacological block of the slow, delayed rectifier potassium current (I-Ks) by chromanol 293B, L-735,821, or HMR-1556 produces little effect on action potential duration (APD) in isolated rabbit and dog ventricular myocytes, the ...

A phenomap of TTR amyloidosis to aid diagnostic screening
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1113-1118, April 2025.Abstract Cardiac amyloidosis due to transthyretin (ATTR) remains an underdiagnosed cause of cardiomyopathy. As awareness of the disease grows and referrals for ATTR increase, clinicians are likely to encounter more atypical forms of the condition in clinical practice.

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1386-1397, April 2025.Sequeira et al. reveal how the glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist (GLP‐1‐RA) semaglutide restores cardiomyocyte function in rats subjected to a high‐fat/high‐fructose diet (HFD). Employing fluorescence‐ and patch‐clamp technology in isolated cardiac myocytes, they demonstrate that semaglutide reverses HFD‐induced activation of L‐type calcium ...

FDG PET/CT imaging and circulating biomarkers of inflammation in desmoplakin cardiomyopathy
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1485-1489, April 2025.Abstract Aims Inflammation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy, and retrospective studies have described abnormal myocardial fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) findings in symptomatic patients eventually diagnosed with DSP cardiomyopathy.

Endocardial Pacemaker Implantation in Neonates and Infants [PDF]
, 2006 Transvenous pacemaker lead implantation is the preferred method of pacing in adult patients. Lead performance and longevity are superior and the implantation approach can be performed under local anaesthetic with a very low morbidity.

Cilostazol in patients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction—The CLIP‐HFpEF trial
ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1437-1446, April 2025.• Cilostazol is an oral PDE‐3 inhibitor that may have advantageous effects in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). • Cilostazol significantly improved short‐term heart failure‐related health status scores (KCCQ‐12) and NT‐proBNP levels when compared to placebo.
