TY - JOUR. T1 - Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy - Three decades of progress. AU - Calkins, Hugh. PY - 2015. Y1 - 2015. N2 - Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is a rare, inherited cardiomyopathy characterized by ventricular arrhythmias, sudden cardiac death, and right ventricular dysfunction. Since the first major description of this disease, much has been learned about ARVD/C. One of the main breakthroughs was the discovery that mutations in desmosomal proteins are the most frequent genetic basis of ARVD/C. Today, genetic testing plays an important role in both the diagnosis of ARVD/C and cascade family screening. Much has also been learned concerning the optimal approaches to diagnosis. The 2010 Task Force Diagnostic criteria for ARVD/C represent the standard for diagnosis today. We have also learned much about the importance of proband status and the 24-h PVC count to assess sudden death risk, and the importance of exercise both in the ...

We read with interest the paper by Marcus et al. (1) published in the May 14, 2013 issue of the Journal. The authors brought to light the complex nature of clinical genetics in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) patients. Overall, this paper provides an important review of the current state of clinical genetic testing for this rare condition. We applaud the authors for their confirmation of the Heart Rhythm Society/European Heart Rhythm Association guidelines (2) in recommending genetic counseling when ordering genetic testing in this and other cardiomyopathies.. The Johns Hopkins arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) program was established in 1999 with 3 goals: 1) to educate patients and physicians about ARVD/C; 2) to evaluate and manage patients with known or suspected ARVD/C; and 3) to contribute to the body of literature regarding this condition. The program has facilitated the clinical evaluation of over 1,140 patients and follows over 250 ...

Studying arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia with patient-specific iPSCs. Modelling genetic disorders using induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) is an emerging tool for researchers; however cells derived from iPSCs, such as cardiomyocytes (CMs), have not yet been qualified as useful models of adult disease phenotypes. Now researchers from the group of Huei-Sheng Vincent Chen at the Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute, California, USA have studied the inherited heart disease arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) (Calkins and Marcus) an inherited heart disease characterized by pathological fatty infiltration and cardiomyocyte loss in the right ventricle. From patient-specific mutation bearing fibroblasts they generated iPSCs and subsequently iPSC-CMs; finding that induction of adult-like metabolism has a critical role in establishing an adult-onset disease model (Kim et al).. Using fibroblasts taken from a patient with clinical ARVD/C and a homozygous ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular (RV) dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is an inherited cardiomyopathy characterized histologically by fibro-fatty myocardial replacement of the RV and clinically by ventricular arrhythmias and RV dysfunction (1,2). Patients with ARVD/C typically present in their mid-teens to mid-forties with symptomatic ventricular tachycardia (VT) of a left bundle branch block morphology (3). Sudden cardiac death may be the first manifestation of the disease (3-5). Clinical diagnosis is based on diagnostic criteria proposed by the International Task Force of the European Society of Cardiology and International Society and Federation of Cardiology that take into account arrhythmic, electrocardiographic, structural, and histopathologic abnormalities, as well as family history (6).. Arrhythmogenic RV dysplasia/cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder transmitted with reduced penetrance and variable expressivity. To date, 6 genes have been identified with mutations causing ARVD/C. Both ...

̣̣̣̺ Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD), also called arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) or arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C), is an inherited heart disease.Wikipedia ARVD is caused by genetic defects of the parts of heart muscle (also called myocardium or cardiac muscle) known as desmosomes, areas on the surface of heart muscle cells which link the cells together. The desmosomes are composed of several proteins, and many of those proteins can have harmful mutations. The disease is a type of nonischemic cardiomyopathy that involves primarily the right ventricle. It is characterized by hypokinetic areas involving the free wall of the right ventricle, with fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, with associated arrhythmias originating in the right ventricle. ARVD can be found in association with diffuse palmoplantar keratoderma, and woolly hair, in a autosomal recessive condition called Naxos disease, ...

Also known as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy. ARVD stands for Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia. Arrhythmogenic means causing an arrhythmia. The right ventricle is the chamber of the heart that is affected and dysplasia means there is an abnormality of the structure. The right ventricle is dilated and contracts poorly. As a result, the ability of the heart to pump blood is usually weakened. Patients with ARVD often have arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), which can increase the risk of sudden cardiac arrest or death.. ARVD is a specific type of cardiomyopathy (a disorder of the cardiac muscle).. Simply put, ARVD is a genetic, progressive heart condition in which the muscle of the right ventricle is replaced by fat and fibrosis, which causes abnormal heart rhythms. ARVD is estimated to affect one in 5,000 people. The disease can affect both men and women. Although it is a relatively uncommon cause of sudden cardiac death, it accounts for up to one fifth of sudden ...

Temporal signal averaging of the surface QRS (VI + V3 + V5) was performed in 16 patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia and in 16 normal subjects. The differences between ARVD patients and normals were large for the filtered QRS duration (FQRSd) (146.2±18.9 vs. 91.8±4.1ms, P,000001), the late potential duration (LPd) (83.5±23.3 ms vs. 23.6±4.6ms, P, 0.00001), the LPd/ FQRSd ratio (53.9± 10.1% vs. 25.8±5.1%, P ,0.00001), the filtered QRS amplitude (234.0±61.1μV vs. 429±942 fiV, P ,0001), and the root mean square voltage of the signals in the terminal 40 and 50 ms of the FQRS (RMS40 and RMS50) (18.4± 10.0μV vs. 118.4±49.8p.V, P,0.0005 and 27.9± 19.2μV vs. 217.0±66.3fiV, P,0000002). RMS50 ,40μV discriminated best between ARVD and normals (81% sensitivity and 100% specificity).

Variant summary: PKP2 c.14delG (p.Gly5AlafsX34) results in a premature termination codon, predicted to cause a truncation of the encoded protein or absence of the protein due to nonsense mediated decay, which are commonly known mechanisms for disease. Truncations downstream of this position have been classified as pathogenic by our laboratory (e.g., p.Arg79X and p.Gln133X). The variant was absent in 30714 control chromosomes. c.14delG has been reported in the literature in one individual affected with Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). To our knowledge, no experimental evidence demonstrating an impact on protein function has been reported. One clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted clinical-significance assessments for this variant to ClinVar after 2014 without evidence for independent evaluation and classified the variant as pathogenic. Another clinical diagnostic laboratory has submitted assessment for this variant to ClinVar before 2014 without evidence ...

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Dysplasia is when the muscle tissue in the right ventricle of the heart dies and is replaced with fat and/or fibrous tissue thus disrupting the electrical signals of the heart and causes arrhythmias. This is the forum for discussing anything related to this health condition

Background: The Ser358Leu mutation in TMEM43, encoding an inner nuclear membrane protein, has been implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The pathogenetic mechanisms of this mutation are poorly understood. Methods: To determine the frequency of TMEM43 mutations as a cause of ARVC, we screened 11 ARVC families for mutations in TMEM43 and five desmosomal genes previously implicated in the disease. Functional studies were performed in COS-7 cells transfected with wildtype, mutant, and 1:2 wildtype:mutant TMEM43 to determine the effect of the Ser358Leu mutation on the stability and cellular localization of TMEM43 and other nuclear envelope and desmosomal proteins, assessed by solubility assays and immunofluorescence imaging. mRNA expression was assessed of genes potentially affected by dysfunction of the nuclear lamina. Results: Three novel mutations in previously documented desmosomal genes, but no mutations in TMEM43, were identified. COS-7 cells transfected with ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited heart muscle disease that may result in arrhythmia, heart failure, and sudden death. The hallmark pathological findings are progressive myocyte loss and fibrofatty replacement, with a predilection for the right ventricle. A number of genetic studies have identified mutations in various components of the cardiac desmosome that have important roles in the pathogenesis of ARVC. Disruption of desmosomal function by defective proteins might lead to death of myocytes under mechanical stress. The myocardial injury may be accompanied by inflammation. Since regeneration of cardiac myocytes is limited, repair by fibrofatty replacement occurs. Several studies have implicated that desmosome dysfunction results in the delocalization and nuclear translocation of plakoglobin. As a result, competition between plakoglobin and beta-catenin will lead to the inhibition of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, resulting in a shift from a myocyte fate ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited myocardial disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement and ventricular arrhythmias. ARVC is believed to be a disease of the young, with most cases being diagnosed before the age of 40 years. We report here a case of newly diagnosed ARVC in an octogenarian associated with a pathogenic variant in the plakophilin 2 gene (PKP2). An 80-year-old Japanese man was referred for sustained ventricular tachycardia. His baseline electrocardiogram showed negative T waves in V1-V4. Right ventriculography showed right ventricular aneurysm. Because this case met three major criteria, ARVC was diagnosed. He was successfully treated with radiofrequency ablation and oral amiodarone. Genetic analysis identified an insertion mutation in exon 8 of PKP2 (1725_1728dupGATG), which caused a frameshift and premature termination of translation (R577DfsX5). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of newly diagnosed ARVC in an octogenarian

ARVC or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a rare illness. The occurrence of the same makes it impossible for an individual to recover completely.

Definition, Etiology, PathogenesisTop. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic disease involving mainly the right ventricle. It is caused by the gradual replacement of myocardial fibers by fatty and fibrous tissue, particularly in the right ventricular inflow, outflow, and apex, which leads to a propensity to ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Morphologic and functional changes can also occur in the left ventricle (LV), producing a phenotype similar to dilated cardiomyopathy. Causes: Gene mutations, which are usually autosomal dominant.. Clinical Features and Natural HistoryTop. 1. History: ARVC usually presents in young adult men. The first symptom is a brief loss of consciousness caused by ventricular arrhythmia. Sudden cardiac death may occur.. 2. Risk factors of sudden cardiac death include a young age, history of syncope, cardiac arrest or hemodynamically significant ventricular tachycardia, LV involvement, significant right ventricular damage, ...

Conclusions and implications Acute ventricular cardiomyopathy is a common complication of severe sepsis and is difficult to diagnose using standard invasive cardiac output devices commonly used within critical care areas. Trans thoracic echocardiography presents a point of care diagnostic modality that allows rapid, repeatable, reliable assessment of independent ventricular function. Low cardiac output states seen with acute dilated right ventricular cardiomyopathy appear to show little benefit from fluid boluses and poor response to standard pharmacological strategies for septic shock. In the two patients requiring invasive ventilation, death followed within 72 h of diagnosis of right ventricular cardiomyopathy. Surveillance scanning for a impaired and/or dilated right ventricle may allow earlier detection and exploration of alternative treatment strategies. Respiratory failure in severe septic shock associated with right ventricular cardiomyopathy appears to confer a significant increased ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (or ARVD) is a disease of the heart muscle. In this disease, fatty fibrous tissue replaces normal heart muscle. This interrupts normal electrical signals in the heart and may cause irregular and potentially life-threatening heart rhythms. The heart also becomes weaker over time leading to heart failure.

ARVD is caused by genetic mutations in genes that instruct proteins to link one heart cell to the next. There is also some evidence that ARVD could be caused by an infection of the heart muscle. The genetic basis of ARVD is complex and not fully understood. There are different ways in which ARVD can be inherited. The most common pattern of inheritance for ARVD is autosomal dominant. This means that a mutation in only one copy of the disease-causing gene is sufficient to cause the condition. An individual with an autosomal dominant condition has a 50% risk to pass the mutation on to each child. Other individuals with ARVD have an autosomal recessive form. This means mutations in both copies of the gene must be present to have a predisposition to ARVD. Parents of an individual with an autosomal recessive condition each carry one mutated copy of the gene and are referred to as carriers. When two carriers of an autosomal recessive condition have children, each child has a 25% risk to inherit ...

The patient received a single-chamber implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), which was implanted without complications.. The patient was advised to limit physical exertion and was prescribed beta-blockers (bisoprolol 2.5 mg daily) in addition to his usual medication.. He remained asymptomatic and tolerated the ICD well. Genetic study and electrocardiographic and echocardiographic monitoring have been recommended for his offspring.1,2. DiscussionEpidemiology. There are limited epidemiologic data on ARVD. Its prevalence in the general population is between 1/2000 and 1/5000, with males being affected more often than females (3:1). Its incidence ranges between 1/1000 and 1/50 000, with considerable geographic variability.3-5. In most cases (80%) ARVD is diagnosed before the age of 40. Worldwide, it is identified as the cause of sudden cardiac death in young adults in 5-11% of cases. In a study in northern Italy it was the leading cause (22.4%) of sudden death in young athletes.6.

Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited condition characterized by life threatening heart racing, presenting with palpitations, cardiac arrest (collapse requiring an ambulance) or sudden death. The disease affects the right ventricle, the part of the heart that pumps blood to the lungs. ARVC is diagnosed with a wide range of tests that focus on the pumping function and the electrical signals from the right ventricle. There are a number of methods used to diagnose ARVC: ECG, echocardiogram, Holter Monitoring, signal averaged ECG, stress testing, cardiac MRI, right ventricular angiography, electroanatomic mapping and rarely tissue biopsy. These tools can detect an abnormal electrical signal from the involved muscle tissue, or structural abnormalities. The variable presentation typically leads the physician to perform broad testing, since no single test is a gold standard for the diagnosis. Test results, and personal and family history are the basis of the ARVC Task ...

The work of Soda et al. (9) forces us to confront the role of endocytosis in the maintenance and regulation of the slit diaphragm and perhaps all junctional complexes. Significant advances in structural and basic cell biology have led to a clearer understanding of the structure and function of epithelial junctions, but what role could endocytosis be playing? The formation of adherent junction was thought to be made in two steps: delivery of cadherins to the surface resulted in a mobile pool, which then - apparently stabilized by cell-cell cadherin contacts - accumulated first into spots and then into long linear junctions. Advances in video microscopy have demonstrated that tight and adherent junctions are dynamic structures both in vivo and in the established junctions of confluent epithelial cell cultures. de Beco et al. studied mature epithelial junctions and found that most E-cadherin molecules did not diffuse in the plane of the membrane, but rather had a rapid turnover that was mediated ...

Figure 3. The CeAJ and cell-cell adhesion. (A) Schematic representation of known components CeAJ components. Like in vertebrates and Drosophila, C. elegans epithelial cells contain two adhesion complexes, the cadherin-catenin (CCC) and the DLG-1/AJM-1 (DAC) complexes. C. elegans is unique in three respects: (i) there is a single electron-dense area in the CeAJ (see Figure 1B); (ii) LET-413 does not colocalize with DLG-1 (as its homologue Scribble in Drosophila); (iii) PAR-3, PAR-6, PKC-3 and CRB-1 are present at the apical membrane in tubular organs (the existence of apical polarity determinants in epidermal cells is an open question). CeAJs from different epithelia contain the same set of proteins; notable differences concern the identity of the classical claudin-like protein (CLC-1 present in the pharynx, vulva and spermatheca; CLC-2 present in the lateral epidermis). The DAC complex might correspond to the electron-density in the CeAJ. Indeed, immunogold staining experiments localize AJM-1 at ...

BACKGROUND: Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited cardiac disorder mainly caused by dominant mutations in several components of the cardiac desmosome including plakophilin-2 (PKP2) - the most prevalent disease gene. Little is known about the underlying genetic and molecular mechanisms of missense mutations located in the armadillo (ARM) domains of PKP2 as well as their consequences on human cardiac pathology. METHODS AND RESULTS: We focused on in vivo and in vitro studies of the PKP2 founder mutation c.2386T,C (p.C796R) and demonstrated in cardiac tissue from two related mutation carriers a patchy expression pattern ranging from unchanged to totally absent immunoreactive signals of PKP2 and other desmosomal proteins. In vitro expression analysis of mutant PKP2 in cardiac derived HL-1 cells revealed unstable proteins which fail to interact with desmoplakin and are targeted by degradation involving calpain proteases. Bacterial expression, crystallization and ...

|jats:p|Desmosomes are anchoring junctions that exist in cells that endure physical stress such as cardiac myocytes. The importance of desmosomes in maintaining the homeostasis of the myocardium is underscored by frequent mutations of desmosome components found in human patients and animal models. Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a phenotype caused by mutations in desmosomal components in ∼50% of patients, however, the causes in the remaining 50% of patients still remain unknown. A deficiency of inhibitor of apoptosis-stimulating protein of p53 (iASPP), an evolutionarily conserved inhibitor of p53, caused by spontaneous mutation recently has been associated with a lethal autosomal recessive cardiomyopathy in Poll Hereford calves and Wa3 mice. However, the molecular mechanisms that mediate this putative function of iASPP are completely unknown. Here, we show that iASPP is expressed at intercalated discs in human and mouse postmitotic cardiomyocytes. iASPP interacts with

Aims: Differentiation between early-phase arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT)-ventricular tachycardia (VT) can be challenging, and correct diagnosis is important. We compared electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters and morphological right ventricular (RV) abnormalities and investigated if ECG and cardiac imaging can help to discriminate early-phase ARVC from RVOT-VT patients. Methods and results: We included 44 consecutive RVOT-VT (47+14 years) and 121 ARVC patients (42+17 years). Of the ARVC patients, 77 had definite ARVC and 44 had early-phase ARVC disease. All underwent clinical examination, ECG, and Holter monitoring. Frequency of premature ventricular complexes (PVC) was expressed as percent per total beats/24 h (%PVC), and PVC configuration was recorded.

Abnormalities of desmosomes, more specifically mutations in the desmoplakin (DSP) gene, have been shown to cause not only arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) but also sick sinus syndrome (SSS) as well. Although various ARVC overlap syndromes have been described, its association with sinus node dysfunction is not documented. In this report, we describe an autosomal dominant missense mutation in the DSP gene in a proband with sick sinus syndrome and features of ARVC on cardiac MRI.. Clinical case -. A 70 year old man presented with a recurrent episodes of syncope, that were historically suggestive of an arrhythmic etiology. He had a history of systemic hypertension which was under adequate control with ACE inhibitors. His 2D Echocardiogram (ECHO) revealed a structurally normal heart. During his evaluation of syncope, his baseline electrocardiogram (ECG), head up tilt test, brain imaging, and electroencephalography were non-contributory. Cardiac MRI(CMR) ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD) is a hereditary cardiomyopathy that causes sudden death in the young. We found a line of mice with inherited right ventricular dysplasia (RVD) caused by a mutation of the gene laminin receptor 1 (Lamr1). This locus contained an intron-processed retroposon that was transcribed in the mice with RVD. Introduction of a mutated Lamr1 gene into normal mice by breeding or by direct injection caused susceptibility to RVD, which was similar to that seen in the RVD mice. An in vitro study of cardiomyocytes expressing the product of mutated Lamr1 showed early cell death accompanied by alteration of the chromatin architecture. We found that heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) bound specifically to mutant LAMR1. HP1 is a dynamic regulator of heterochromatin sites, suggesting that mutant LAMR1 impairs a crucial process of transcriptional regulation. Indeed, mutant LAMR1 caused specific changes to gene expression in cardiomyocytes, as detected by gene chip analysis. Thus,

BACKGROUND: Previous studies suggested that electrical abnormalities precede overt structural disease in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Abnormal RV deformation has been reported in early ARVC without structural abnormalities. The pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these abnormalities remain unknown. OBJECTIVES: The authors used imaging and computer simulation to differentiate electrical from mechanical ... read more tissue substrates among ARVC clinical stages. METHODS: ARVC desmosomal mutation carriers (n = 84) were evaluated by electrocardiography (ECG), Holter monitoring, late-enhancement cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, and echocardiographic RV deformation imaging. Subjects were categorized based on the presence of 2010 International Task Force criteria: 1) subclinical stage (n = 21); 2) electrical stage (n = 15); and 3) structural stage (n = 48). Late enhancement was not present in any subclinical or electrical stage subjects. RESULTS: Three distinctive ...

A 46-year-old white woman presented to the emergency department with hemodynamically stable sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT). She was chemically cardioverted with lidocaine. Her electrocardiogram, showing sinus rhythm, was unremarkable, and serial cardiac enzyme tests excluded myocardial infarction. A signal-averaged electrocardiogram was abnormal, with a filtered QRS duration of 187 milliseconds. Echocardiography showed normal left and right ventricular systolic function but revealed diastolic dysfunction of the left ventricle. Electrophysiologic testing revealed easily inducible sustained VT of 4 distinct morphologies. A diagnosis of possible arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia was made based on the signal-averaged electrocardiographic and electrophysiologic findings. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed no evidence of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, however. An endomyocardial biopsy revealed noncaseating granulomas consistent with sarcoidosis. This case ...

This thesis concentrates on the assessment of cardiac function, both systolic and diastolic using variables originating from the longitudinal motion of the heart using both established and novel non-invasive imaging techniques. We developed a new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique that creates an M-mode MRI image, analogous to the one used in echocardiography and enables quantitative assessment of cardiac motion. The MRI M-mode method was compared with M-mode echocardiography in a phantom study, by measuring mitral and tricuspid annular motion in 20 normal subjects, and in a study of right ventricular function in 17 patients after coronary artery bypass surgery. The agreement between M-mode MRI and Mmode echocardiography was good. However, the amplitudes were somewhat higher measured by MRI, probably because of less angle error in the MRI calculation, furthermore the lower resolution in the MRI image may have contributed.. Pulsed tissue Doppler, a recently developed Doppler modality that ...

Results A total of 24 studies with 717 participants were enrolled. The literatures of epicardial ablation were mainly published after 2010 with total ICD implantation of 73.7%, acute efficacy of 89.8%, major complication of 5.2%, follow-up of 28.9 months, VT freedom of 75.3%, all-cause mortality of 1.1% and heart transplantation of 0.6%. Meta-analysis of 10 comparative studies revealed that compared with endocardial-only approach, epicardial ablation significantly decreased VT recurrence (OR: 0.50; 95% CI: 0.30-0.85; P = 0.010), but somehow increased major procedural complications (OR: 4.64; 95% CI: 1.28-16.92; P= 0.02), with not evident improvement of acute efficacy (OR: 2.74; 95% CI: 0.98-7.65; P = 0.051) or all-cause mortality (OR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.09-8.31; P = 0.90 ...

Abstract: We report a case of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) which illustrates the natural progression of disease in the absence of availability of an implanted cardiac defibrillator (ICD). Electrocardiograms and cardiac imaging show the progress of ARVC and these clinical milestones of disease are presented herein. 1. Background ARVC is a largely inherited cardiomyopathy that affects mostly young otherwise healthy individuals and is associated with an increased risk of sudden death [1]. The morphological and arrhythmogenic substrate of ARVC predominantly affects the right ventricle (RV) [2] and is characterized by progressive myocardial atrophy with subsequent replacement by fatty and fibrous tissue [3]. Accordingly, the clinical process is also progressive [3, 4]. Here we review the entire progression of a young patient with ARVC from recurrent syncope to sudden cardiac death in the absence of ICD. 2. Case Presentation An 18-year-old Chinese man was sent to the hospital ...

The purpose of this paper is to present a clinical and laboratory study of a family, in which a 12-year-old boy was examined to assess his health status before starting competitive sports. A variety of clinical and instrumental tests were used to evaluate the status of the heart and its functions. Using Sanger sequencing (SS), we sequenced six related genes to verify suspected arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) hypothesized at the cardiac assessment and, subsequently, by a next-generation sequencing (NGS)-based multi-gene panel for more paramount genetic risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) assessment. SS revealed two variants in the PKP2 gene, one was inherited from the father and the other from the mother..

Combining a wealth of information derived from previous studies with data from more than 500 patients, an international team led by researchers from Johns Hopkins has developed a computer-based set of rules that more accurately predicts when patients with a rare heart condition might benefit-or not-from lifesaving implanted defibrillators. The new research, published online on March 27 in the European Heart Journal provides physicians with a risk prediction tool that will identify patients most likely to benefit from the protection provided by an implantable defibrillator while preventing a fifth from receiving unnecessary-and potentially risky-surgery to place the devices.. An estimated 1 in 5,000 people have arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a complex, multigene, inherited disease of the lower heart chambers that can cause deadly arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats. Although rare, its a very frequent cause of sudden death in young adults, according to the new studys ...

Patients with Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC) (n=10), Brugada Syndrome (BrS) (n=14) and normal heart RV outflow tract (RVOT) VT (n=6) underwent electrophysiological studies and were followed up for 113+/-21 months post procedure. Unipolar electrograms were recorded from a non-contact array (St Jude Medical) placed in the RVOT and geometry created with the Ensite system. Recordings were made during a programmed electrical stimulation protocol consisting of a 600ms drive train and S2 extras. ATs and RTs were computed from the unipolar electrograms and the RVI calculated as previously described (1). Minimum 10% of global RVI values corrected for cycle length (RVIc10%) and distance between region of lowest 5% of RVI values and region of earliest activation during VT (Dmin) were computed for each patient. ...

Cell junctions are stably maintained in mature epithelial cells. When DAAM1 was depleted in EpH4 cells, however, the cell membranes forming LCs became mobile, similar to the leading edges of migrating cells. This enhancement of motility depended on the Rac-WRC signaling system, which is generally important for the formation of leading edges or lamellipodia in migrating cells (Krause and Gautreau, 2014). These results suggest that the membranes of LCs are motile by nature, like free cell edges, but this ability is normally restrained by DAAM1 (Fig. S5 F). Consistent with our observations, a previous study using DAAM1 gene trap mice showed that, in cardiomyocytes with a marked reduction of DAAM1, the distributions of F-actin, N-cadherin, and α-catenin were perturbed, leading to abnormal sarcomere organization and cell misalignment (Li et al., 2011).. DAAM1, as a member of the formin family, is thought to nucleate and/or accelerate the elongation of actin filaments. DAAM1 depletion induced ...

IAS 29 Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies defines and provides general guidance for assessing whether a particular jurisdictions economy is hyperinflationary. But the IASB does not identify specific jurisdictions. The International Practices Task Force (IPTF) of the Centre for Audit Quality (CAQ) monitors the status of highly inflationary countries. The Task Forces criteria for identifying such countries are similar to those for identifying hyperinflationary economies under IAS 29.
