Hypertension, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Primary aldosteronism (PA) is a common cause of human hypertension. Somatic mutations inKCNJ5,CACNA1D,ATP1A1, andATP2B3are found in at least 80% of aldosterone-producing adenomas, which cause unilateral PA in humans. Somatic mutations have been identified infrequently in 7 other genes; few of these were known to play a role in aldosterone secretion before the discovery of their mutations.

Background Patients with heart failure exhibiting low systolic blood pressure (SBP) have a poor prognosis. Sacubitril/valsartan reduces cardiovascular events; however, its use in patients with low SBP has not been fully examined. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to investigate the association between baseline SBP and adverse events (AEs) in patients starting sacubitril/valsartan therapy using data from a real-world registry in Japan.

Cardiac hypertrophy is a crucial risk factor for heart failure when the heart is confronted with physiological or pathological stimuli. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of cardiac hypertrophy. However, as a key component of the UPS, the role of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs) in cardiac hypertrophy is not well understood.

The most common masses on pacemaker leads are thrombi and infective endocarditis(1). Neoplasms attached to pacemaker leads are less frequently encountered. The mainstay treatment of infective endocarditis and large masses (particularly those that do not respond to medical therapy) is lead extraction. With large masses a surgical approach is typically pursued(1).

Abstract Introduction Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) reduces heart failure (HF) hospitalization in patients with HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). However, the long-term outcomes and subclinical HF after nonparoxysmal AF ablation in HFpEF patients have not been fully evaluated. Methods and Results One-hundred-ninety nonparoxysmal AF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50% who underwent first-time AF ablation were studied.
