Hypertension and Atrial Fibrillation: Insight From Basic to Translational Science Into the Mechanisms and Management

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

ABSTRACT There is a parallel epidemic of atrial fibrillation (AF) and hypertension (HTN) occurring globally. Both AF and HTN are no longer confined to the older population. The pathophysiology of AF related to HTN is complex with many inter-related factors.

Cardiac Neuromodulation and Neurocardiology

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology

The characterization of the cardiac autonomic nervous system has resulted in a new understanding and appreciation of neurocardiology, leading to potential novel neuromodulation therapies in clinical cardiology and cardiac electrophysiology. Patients with heart failure may be improved clinically by potentiating parasympathetic tone.

Modeling Heart Failure With Preserved Ejection Fraction Using Human Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell–Derived Cardiac Organoids

Circulation: Heart Failure

The generated organoids were then subjected to HFpEF-associated, comorbidity-inspired conditions, such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity-related inflammation. compared with single condition exposure 5.21.3% (obesity), 6.73.5% (hypertension), and 9.01.1% (diabetes;P<0.001).

Ebstein’s Anomaly of Tricuspid Valve

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

The cyanosis in Ebstein’s anomaly, is usually not due to pulmonary hypertension, but because tricuspid regurgitation jet is directed across the atrial septal defect. Electrophysiological study will show that, and this pathway can be ablated. This is one important cause of supraventricular tachycardia in Ebstein’s anomaly.
