Cardiac cytoskeleton and arrhythmia: an unexpected role for protein 4.1R in cardiac excitability.

The cellular activity of both excitable and nonexcitable cells depends on the coordinate activities of membrane ion channels, transporters, pumps, receptors, and cell adhesion molecules. Underlying these integral membrane proteins in metazoan cells is an elaborate cytoskeletal network that defines cell shape and local membrane architecture and provides strength and stability for cell/cell and c...

Platelets and Cardiac Arrhythmia

Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains one of the most prevalent modes of death in industrialized countries, and myocardial ischemia due to thrombotic coronary occlusion is its primary cause. The role of platelets in the occurrence of SCD extends beyond coronary flow impairment by clot formation. Here we review the substances released by platelets during clot formation and their arrhythmic properti...

Inherited Cardiac Arrhythmia Syndromes

Lethal cardiac arrhythmias in individuals with structurally normal heart are often caused by variants in genes that encode cardiac ion channel and -subunits (102). Common inherited arrhythmia syndromes include the congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome (BrS), short QT syndrome (SQT), and catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) (76). Moreover, inherited mutatio...

Cardiac Arrhythmia and Geomagnetic Activity

BACKGROUND The purpose of this paper is a review of a number of studies considering links between life threatening cardiac arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death (SCD) and the level of environmental physical activity factors like geomagnetic activity (GMA) and opposite them cosmic ray and high energy proton flux. This is a part of studies in the field named Clinical Cosmobiology. METHODS Temporal ...
