A new study looked at 926 polygenic risk scores for 310 diseases. It found that, on average, only 11% of individuals who develop disease are identified, while at the same time 5% of people who do not develop the disease test positive. Unaffected people usually outnumber those affected which results in far more false than true positive predictions.

In this ECG Cases blog Dr. Jesse McLaren guides us through 10 cases, driving home the points that sepsis is a common cause of rapid Afib and diffuse ST depression with reciprocal ST elevation in aVR, myo/pericarditis is a diagnosis of exclusion, endocarditis or lyme carditis can cause AV block, PE can cause low grade fever and ECG signs of acute RV strain and that fever can unmask Brugada syndrome.

How Does Fever Precipitate Arrhythmia in Brugada Syndrome? In Brugada syndrome dysfunctional voltage gated sodium channels Na V 1.5 have delayed activation and earlier inactivation. This leads to shortening of action potential duration. There is additional shortening of action potential duration at higher temperatures. This is the proposed mechanism of precipitation of arrhythmias in Brugada syndrome during febrile episodes.

BACKGROUND:Thiazide diuretics (TD) are the first-line treatment of hypertension because of its consistent benefit in lowering blood pressure and cardiovascular risk. TD is also known to cause an excess risk of diabetes, which may limit long-term use. Although potassium (K) depletion was thought to be the main mechanism of TD-induced hyperglycemia, TD also triggers magnesium (Mg) depletion.

Associations of colchicine-related plasma proteins, incident heart failure (HF) and cardiac structure and function. HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; HFrEF, heart failure with reduced ejection fraction. Abstract Aims Neutrophil activity contributes to adverse cardiac remodelling in experimental acute cardiac injury and is modifiable with pharmacologic agents like colchicine.

Hypertension, Volume 80, Issue 12 , Page 2674-2686, December 1, 2023. BACKGROUND:Cardiac hypertrophy and subsequent heart failure impose a considerable burden on public health worldwide. Impaired protein degradation, especially endo-lysosome-mediated degradation of membrane proteins, is associated with cardiac hypertrophy progression. CHMP4C (charged multivesicular body protein 4C), a critical constituent of multivesicular bodies, is involved in cellular trafficking and signaling.

Females have about a 10-year advantage over males when it comes to the onset of cardiovascular disease 1. On average, females present with heart attacks later in life. Because of these facts, females are considered to be ‘ lower risk ’ when it comes to cardiovascular disease. Which is true for many females. Earlier in life. However … Cardiovascular disease is still the leading cause of death in females in most countries 2. 30% of all heart attacks in females happen at less than

We determined whether single nucleotide polymorphisms inCACNA1Dgene associate with higher aldosterone resulting in salt sensitivity of blood pressure (BP) and increased BP in men and women.METHODS:Data were obtained from the HyperPATH (International Hypertension Pathotypes) cohort, where participants comp
