Circulating microRNAs as biomarkers of Chagas cardiomyopathy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine

Methods We carried out a case-control study to identify circulating miRNAs associated with CHCM. We performed a clinical, echocardiographic, and laboratory evaluation and profiled circulating miRNA in the serum samples. Results Differences between groups were observed in clinical variables and in the analysis of miRNAs.

Cardiac Arrhythmias and Autonomic Dysfunction Associated With COVID-19: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Cardiac arrhythmias are commonly noted in patients during infections with and recovery from COVID-19. Debate continues on the impact of incident and exacerbated arrhythmias on the acute and chronic (recovery) phase of the illness. Various pathophysiological mechanisms have been proposed.

Pharmacological Management of Cardiac Arrhythmias in the Fetal and Neonatal Periods: A Scientific Statement From the American Heart Association

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. In addition, exposure of the fetus or neonate to either persistent arrhythmias or antiarrhythmic medications may have yet-to-be-determined long-term developmental consequences. Disorders of the cardiac rhythm may occur in both the fetus and neonate.
