Quantification of fibroblast growth factor 23 and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide to identify patients with atrial fibrillation using a high-throughput platform: A validation study

Winnie Chua, Jonathan P. Law, Victor R. Cardoso, Yanish Purmah, Georgiana Neculau, Muhammad Jawad-Ul-Qamar, Kalisha Russell, Ashley Turner, Samantha P. Tull, Frantisek Nehaj, Paul Brady, Peter Kastner, Andre Ziegler, Georgios V. Gkoutos, Davor Pavlovic, Charles J. Ferro, Paulus Kirchhof, Larissa Fabritz

Summary: This study validated the reliability of an AF model using standardized, high-throughput, high-sensitivity biomarker assays. The results indicate that elevated NT-proBNP and FGF23, combined with age, sex, and BMI, can accurately identify patients with AF.

Resting cardiac sympathetic firing frequencies suppress terminal norepinephrine transporter uptake

Lily L. Cao, Janice M. Marshall, Larissa Fabritz, Keith L. Brain

Summary: The study reveals that sympathetic neuronal activity can influence the function of NET, with higher frequencies leading to more significant suppression. Moreover, high concentrations of exogenous NE can abolish NET reuptake, affecting transport processes.

Coronary microvascular dysfunction is associated with degree of anaemia in end-stage renal disease

Ashwin Radhakrishnan, Luke C. Pickup, Anna M. Price, Jonathan P. Law, Kirsty C. McGee, Larissa Fabritz, Roxy Senior, Richard P. Steeds, Charles J. Ferro, Jonathan N. Townend

Summary: CMD is common in ESRD kidney transplant candidates despite the absence of traditional risk factors. Anemia may play a role in microvascular dysfunction in this population, as demonstrated by a positive correlation between hemoglobin levels and CFVR. Further investigation is warranted to explore the relationship between anemia and CMD.

Cellular Mechanisms of the Anti-Arrhythmic Effect of Cardiac PDE2 Overexpression

Michael Wagner, Mirna S. Sadek, Nataliya Dybkova, Fleur E. Mason, Johann Klehr, Rebecca Firneburg, Eleder Cachorro, Kurt Richter, Erik Klapproth, Stephan R. Kuenzel, Kristina Lorenz, Jordi Heijman, Dobromir Dobrev, Ali El-Armouche, Samuel Sossalla, Susanne Kaemmerer

Summary: The study found that overexpression of PDE2 can reduce the likelihood of ventricular arrhythmia, mainly by preventing the increase of cellular triggers mediated by Epac and CaMKII, indicating that activating myocardial PDE2 may be a novel intracellular antiarrhythmic therapeutic strategy in heart failure.

Trends in the pharmacological management of atrial fibrillation in UK general practice 2008-2018

Summary: Between 2008 and 2018, there was an increase in the proportion of AF patients prescribed anticoagulants, driven by the use of non-vitamin K antagonist anticoagulants. The prescription rate for rate control drugs remained constant, while there was a decline in GP prescribing rates for rhythm control drugs.

The Influence of VE-Cadherin on Adhesion and Incorporation of Breast Cancer Cells into Vascular Endothelium

Summary: VE-cadherin enhances the adhesion of breast cancer cells to endothelial cells but does not affect their transmigration, indicating that cancer cell adhesion and incorporation are distinct processes governed by different molecular mechanisms.

Summary: This study found that elevated NT-proBNP concentrations predict future heart failure events in patients with atrial fibrillation, regardless of the presence of heart failure.

Increased atrial effectiveness of flecainide conferred by altered biophysical properties of sodium channels

Summary: Atrial fibrillation is a major cause of stroke and heart failure in the elderly, and sodium channel blockers appear to have a relatively low risk of ventricular pro-arrhythmia in patients with this condition. The study found intrinsic differences between atrial and ventricular sodium currents, which may explain the reduced risk in atrial cells.

Summary: Optical mapping is a widely used technique in pre-clinical cardiac research, allowing for efficient study of cardiac electrophysiology and the effects of interventions on arrhythmia.

Summary: This article summarizes the key outcomes of the 8th AFNET/EHRA Consensus Conference, which was held in Hamburg in October 2021 and attended by 83 international experts. The consensus paper highlights new evidence-based approaches to improve care for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), including population-based screening, evolving management strategies, atrial cardiomyopathy characterization, cognitive function assessment, and the role of artificial intelligence (AI).
