Ionic Mechanism of Action Potential Prolongation in Ventricular Myocytes From Dogs With Pacing-Induced Heart Failure

TL;DR: The hypothesis that downregulation of Ito in pacing-induced heart failure is at least partially responsible for the action potential prolongation in myocytes isolated from failing ventricles is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simple risk model predicts incidence of atrial fibrillation in a racially and geographically diverse population: the CHARGE-AF consortium

TL;DR: In this article, a simple 5-year predictive model including the variables age, race, height, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, current smoking, use of antihypertensive medication, diabetes, and history of myocardial infarction and heart failure was used to predict atrial fibrillation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Meta-analysis identifies six new susceptibility loci for atrial fibrillation

TL;DR: Six new atrial fibrillation susceptibility loci implicate candidate genes that encode transcription factors related to cardiopulmonary development, cardiac-expressed ion channels and cell signaling molecules that are associated with stroke, heart failure and death.
