Association Between Depressive Symptoms and Incident Cardiovascular Diseases.
JAMA - 15 Dec 2020
It is uncertain whether depressive symptoms are independently associated with subsequent risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).To characterize the association between depressive symptoms and CVD incidence across the spectrum of lower mood.A pooled analysis of individual-participant data from the Emerging Risk Factors Collaboration (ERFC; 162 036 participants; 21 cohorts; baseline surveys, 1960...

Comparison of Circulatory Unloading Techniques for Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation.
ASAIO JOURNAL (AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR ARTIFICIAL INTERNAL ORGANS : 1992) - 01 Jun 2021
Left ventricular (LV) distention and pulmonary congestion are major complications inherent to venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). This study aimed to quantitatively compare the hemodynamic differences between common circulatory unloading methods for ECMO. Ten circulatory unloading techniques were evaluated on a mock circulatory loop simulating acute LV failure supported by ...
Modified Precordial Lead R-Wave Deflection Interval Predicts Left- and Right-Sided Idiopathic Outflow Tract Ventricular Arrhythmias.
JACC. CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY - 26 Oct 2020
This study evaluated if modifying electrocardiographic (ECG) precordial leads to a higher intercostal position improved the accuracy of outflow tract ventricular arrhythmia (OTVA) localization.Precordial ECG prediction algorithms that use a standard lead configuration localize OTVA with variable accuracy.Patients who underwent OTVA ablation were prospectively enrolled to have a standard and mod...
Genetic Susceptibility to Atrial Fibrillation Is Associated With Atrial Electrical Remodeling and Adverse Post-Ablation Outcome.
JACC. CLINICAL ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY - 01 Nov 2020
This study sought to assess the atrial electrophysiological properties and post-ablation outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with and without the rs2200733 single nucleotide variant.The phenotype associated with chromosome 4q25 of the AF-susceptibility locus remains unknown.In this study, 102 consecutive patients (ages 61 ± 9 years, 64% male) with paroxysmal or persistent AF were...
Acute effects of interrupting prolonged sitting on vascular function in type 2 diabetes.
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY. HEART AND CIRCULATORY PHYSIOLOGY - 01 Jan 2021
In healthy and overweight/obese adults, interrupting prolonged sitting with activity bouts mitigates impairment in vascular function. However, it is unknown whether these benefits extend to those with type 2 diabetes (T2D), nor whether an optimal frequency of activity interruptions exist. We examined the acute effects on vascular function in T2D of interrupting prolonged sitting with simple res...
Characterisation of the circulating and tissue-specific alterations to the lipidome in response to moderate and major cold stress in mice.
AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PHYSIOLOGY. REGULATORY, INTEGRATIVE AND COMPARATIVE PHYSIOLOGY - 11 Nov 2020
This study analysed the effects of 24 hours of cold stress (22°C or 5°C vs. mice maintained at 30°C) on the plasma, brown adipose tissue (BAT), subcutaneous (SubQ) and epididymal (Epi) white adipose tissue (WAT), liver, and skeletal muscle lipidome of mice. Using mass spectrometry-lipidomics 624 lipid species were detected, of which 239 were significantly altered in plasma, 134 in BAT, and 51 i...

Screening of Potential Cardiac Involvement in Competitive Athletes Recovering From COVID-19: An Expert Consensus Statement.
JACC. CARDIOVASCULAR IMAGING - 01 Dec 2020
As our understanding of the complications of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) evolve, subclinical cardiac pathology such as myocarditis, pericarditis, and right ventricular dysfunction in the absence of significant clinical symptoms represents a concern. The potential implications of these findings in athletes are significant given the concern that exercise, during the acute phase of viral m...
Walking-friendly built environments and objectively measured physical function in older adults.
JOURNAL OF SPORT AND HEALTH SCIENCE - 01 Dec 2020
Few studies have examined the associations between urban design attributes and older adults' physical function. Especially, it is not well known how built-environment attributes may influence physical function in Asian cities. The aim of this study was to examine associations between objectively measured environmental attributes of walkability and objectively assessed physical function in a sam...
Vascular compression of the rostral ventrolateral medulla: a relevant indicator of sympathetically driven blood pressure variability?
JOURNAL OF HYPERTENSION - 01 Dec 2020
Higher mortality of COVID-19 in males: sex differences in immune response and cardiovascular comorbidities.
CARDIOVASCULAR RESEARCH - 01 Dec 2020
The high mortality rate of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is a critical concern of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. Strikingly, men account for the majority of COVID-19 deaths, with current figures ranging from 59% to 75% of total mortality. However, despite clear implications in relation to COVID-19 mortality, most research has not consi...

Identifying Genotype-Phenotype Correlations via Integrative Mutation Analysis.
METHODS IN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY (CLIFTON, N.J.) - 01 Jan 2021
Mutations in protein-coding regions can lead to large biological changes and are associated with genetic conditions, including cancers and Mendelian diseases, as well as drug resistance. Although whole genome and exome sequencing help to elucidate potential genotype-phenotype correlations, there is a large gap between the identification of new variants and deciphering their molecular consequenc...
Confirmation of the Cardioprotective Effect of MitoGamide in the Diabetic Heart.
CARDIOVASCULAR DRUGS AND THERAPY - 01 Dec 2020
HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) is a major consequence of diabetic cardiomyopathy with no effective treatments. Here, we have characterized Akita mice as a preclinical model of HFpEF and used it to confirm the therapeutic efficacy of the mitochondria-targeted dicarbonyl scavenger, MitoGamide.A longitudinal echocardiographic analysis confirmed that Akita mice develop diast...
Changing dietary approaches to prevent cardiovascular disease.
CURRENT OPINION IN LIPIDOLOGY - 29 Sep 2020
We have focused on recent research relevant to effects of dietary patterns and major food groups on cardiovascular outcomes, taking into account guidelines and position statements from expert authorities, with an emphasis on important changes in recommendations, some of which remain controversial.Major findings include: refocusing on qualitative patterns of food consumption replacing quantitati...
Differential sympathetic response to lesion-induced chronic kidney disease in rabbits.
KIDNEY INTERNATIONAL - 01 Oct 2020
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with greater sympathetic nerve activity but it is unclear if this is a kidney-specific response or due to generalized stimulation of sympathetic nervous system activity. To determine this, we used a rabbit model of CKD in which quantitative comparisons with control rabbits could be made of kidney sympathetic nerve activity and whole-body norepinephrine...
