c-Src Is Responsible for Mitochondria-Mediated Arrhythmic Risk in Ischemic Cardiomyopathy

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Increased mitochondrial Ca2+uptake has been implicated in the QT prolongation and lethal arrhythmias associated with nonischemic cardiomyopathy. In a heterologous expression system, c-Src could bind MCU and phosphorylate MCU tyrosines.

Catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation and dilated cardiomyopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Nevertheless, studies on the long-term outcomes of catheter ablation in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy are limited. Method Patient baseline characteristics and electrophysiological parameters were examined to identify the predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence following catheter ablation. years following catheter ablation.

Phenotypes in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy was better known as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia or ARVD and sometimes as Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy or ARVC earlier. A study published in JACC has compared the phenotypic expression and clinical outcomes in patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy [2].

PO-02-097 SCAR BURDEN DETERMINED BY MRI IS ASSOCIATED WITH EXERCISE RELATED CHANGES IN ACTIVATION PATTERN IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY

HeartRhythm

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with a predisposition to lethal ventricular arrhythmias. LGE scar burden on MRI is thought to contribute to this risk, but its impact on electrophysiological substrate is not well understood.

Genetic Atrial Cardiomyopathies: Common Features, Specific Differences, and Broader Relevance to Understanding Atrial Cardiomyopathy

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. Atrial cardiomyopathy is a condition that causes electrical and contractile dysfunction of the atria, often along with structural and functional changes.

Restoration of calcium release synchrony: A novel target for heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia

HeartRhythm

Myocardial calcium (Ca2+) signaling plays a crucial role in contractile function and membrane electrophysiology. An abnormal myocardial Ca2+ transient is linked to heart failure and ventricular arrhythmias.

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and Ventricular Preexcitation in the Young: Cause and Accessory Pathway Characteristics

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Volume 16, Issue 11 , Page e012191, November 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:The cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in the young is highly varied. Twenty-two patients underwent electrophysiology study which identified 23 true AP and 16 FVF.
