抗原变异可使得多种致病微生物易于逃避宿主免疫应答。表达在感染红细胞表面的恶性疟原虫红细胞表面蛋白1（PfPMP1）与感染红细胞、内皮细胞、树突状细胞以及胎盘的单个或多个受体作用，在黏附及免疫逃避中起关键的作用。每个单倍体基因组var基因家族编码约60种成员，通过启动转录不同的var基因变异体为抗原变异提供了分子基础。

2013 ACCF/AHA Guideline for the Management of Heart Failure: A Report of the American College of Cardiology Foundation/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines

The goals of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter (AFL) arrhythmia management are to alleviate patient symptoms, improve patient quality of life, and minimize the morbidity associated with AF and AFL. Arrhythmia management usually commences with drugs to slow the ventricular rate. The addition of class I or class III antiarrhythmic drugs for restoration or maintenance of sinus rhythm is largely determined by patient symptoms and preferences. For rate control, treatment of persistent or permanent AF and AFL should aim for a resting heart rate of 100 beats per minute. Beta-blockers or nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are the initial therapy for rate control of AF and AFL in most patients without a history of myocardial infarction or left ventricular dysfunction. Digoxin is not recommended as monotherapy for rate control in active patients. Digoxin and dronedarone may be used in combination with other agents to optimize rate control. The first-choice antiarrhythmic drug for maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with non structural heart disease can be any one of dronedarone, flecainide, propafenone, or sotalol.

Insights into mechanisms linking cardiac hypertrophy and atrial fibrosis: evidence for a role of histone deacetylase in atrial fibrillation pathophysiology and therapy.

In the absence of structural heart disease, sudden cardiac death is frequently caused by inherited arrhythmia syndromes, such as long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia. Managing these conditions often requires a combination of lifestyle modification, pharmacotherapy and less frequently, invasive therapy. Over the past decade, patient management has been greatly enhanced by tailored pharmacotherapy as a result of a deeper appreciation for arrhythmia mechanisms and supportive evidence from multicenter cohort studies. This article reviews current knowledge regarding drug therapy for inherited arrhythmias. Anti-arrhythmic mechanisms and available clinical evidence are highlighted while maintaining a practical perspective on patient management.

Pharmacotherapy for inherited arrhythmia syndromes: mechanistic basis, clinical trial evidence and practical application

Restoration of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation

Numerous factors can contribute to sudden cardiac death, from underlying disease after myocardial infarction to genetic variants that can claim young lives. In 'Bedside to Bench', Stanley Nattel examines recent clinical studies suggesting that a particular type of readout on an electrocardiogram (ECG) may increase the risk of the condition. This ECG 'variant' is relatively common and was previously thought to be benign. In 'Bench to Bedside', Gordon Tomaselli and Andreas Barth take a look at studies at the bench examining how oxidative stress may promote sudden cardiac death.
