Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print. BackgroundInfective endocarditis (IE) is still a fatal disease, and given its rarity, ongoing updates to patient characteristics and outcomes of IE are essential for providing precision diagnoses and effective treatments. This study sought to examine temporal trends in the clinical characteristics and inhospital occurrence of adverse outcomes of IE.Methods and ResultsUsing the Japan nationwide administrative database, we identified patie

Underlying normal cardiac rhythm is a network of transcriptional programs that ensures normal impulse initiation and impulse propagation. We highlight work that shows how alterations in individual transcriptional networks can lead to increased arrhythmia susceptibility, cardiomyopathy, and congenital heart defects. Lastly, we focus on a study that leverages transcription factor biology to therapeutically modulate heart rhythm.

Curtain etal1 performed an analysis of the VALIANT (Valsartan in Acute Myocardial Infarction) and PARADISE-MI (Prospective ARNi vs ACE Inhibitor Trial to Determine Superiority in Reducing Heart Failure Events After MI) trials to evaluate whether risk of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) following acute myocardial infarction (MI) has changed over time. Patients recruited to these trials had left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <40% following acute MI.

Hypertension, Ahead of Print. Elevated blood pressure (BP) remains the leading cause of mortality globally, and efforts to control it have been disappointing. Meta-analyses of antihypertensive randomized controlled trials reveal a near-exact reversal of the BP-related risks identified in cohort studies. For an observed increase in cardiovascular disease risk of 12.5%, 25%, 50%, and 75% with a 5, 10, 20, or 40 mm Hg higher level of BP, respectively, the corresponding BP reductions in antihyperten

Notwithstanding many insightful observations, the electrocardiogram (ECG) arguably ignited the big bang in our understanding of cardiac arrhythmias. Using ECG recording and deductive reasoning, our teachers and predecessors classified the bradycardias and tachycardias and proposed many mechanisms, subsequently proven to be correct. The development of electrophysiology (EP) studies through intravascular catheters provided the leap to verifying mechanisms, setting the stage for interventions.

Since the first report 30 years ago of inherited fetal long QT syndrome (LQTS) presenting as mild fetal bradycardia, more than 265 prenatal cases of LQTS have been reported.1 The importance of prenatal recognition cannot be overestimated because of the significant risk for stillbirth or premature delivery and the value of primary prevention for the infant proband and LQTS-positive family members.
