Wiedmann et al (J Mol Cell Cardiol 2023;184:26, PMID 37793594) investigated the role of TWIK-related acid-sensitive potassium channel 1 (TASK-1, hK2P3.1), 2-pore-domain K+ channels, which are expressed in human atrial myocytes, in mediating the neurokinin-III receptor activation–induced effects on atrial electrophysiology. Administration of the endogenous neurokinin-III receptor ligand substance P or neurokinin B resulted in a strong TASK-1 current inhibition in heterologous systems expressing n

Sepsis and septic shock are life-threatening conditions which are associated with high mortality and considerable healthcare costs. The association between prior angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi) or angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) use and outcomes following sepsis is elusive. The aim of this study is to evaluate the role of the prior use of ACEi and ARBs and outcomes post sepsis and septic shock.
