Background: The antiarrhythmic effect of melatonin(MLT) has been demonstrated in several studies; however, this hypothesis has recently been contested. Our research seeks to determine if exogenous MLT supplementation can reduce atrial fibrillation (AF) susceptibility due to sleep deprivation (SD) by addressing Ca mishandling and atrial mitochondrial oxidative stress.
Methods: Adult rats received daily MLT or vehicle injections and were exposed to a modified water tank.
Arrhythmogenic calmodulin variants D131E and Q135P disrupt interaction with the L-type voltage-gated Ca channel (Ca1.2) and reduce Ca-dependent inactivation.

Aim: Long QT syndrome (LQTS) and catecholaminergic polymorphism ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) are inherited cardiac disorders often caused by mutations in ion channels. These arrhythmia syndromes have recently been associated with calmodulin (CaM) variants. Here, we investigate the impact of the arrhythmogenic variants D131E and Q135P on CaM's structure-function relationship.

Ischaemic heart disease (IHD) remains a major cause of death and morbidity. Klotho is a well-known anti-ageing factor with relevant cardioprotective actions, at least when renal dysfunction is present, but its actions are much less known when renal function is preserved. This study investigated Klotho as a biomarker and potential novel treatment of IHD-associated complications after myocardial infarction (MI) under preserved renal function.

Aims: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs), which can lead to sudden cardiac death, are the primary cause of mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). However, the precise mechanisms underlying these arrhythmias are not well understood. Recent studies have implicated tumour necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 3-interacting protein 3 (TNIP3) in pathological cardiac hypertrophy.

A well-balanced ion channel trafficking machinery is paramount for the normal electromechanical function of the heart. Ion channel variants and many drugs can alter the cardiac action potential and lead to arrhythmias by interfering with mechanisms like ion channel synthesis, trafficking, gating, permeation, and recycling. A case in point is the Long QT syndrome (LQTS), a highly arrhythmogenic disease characterized by an abnormally prolonged QT interval on ECG produced by variants and drugs that interfere with the action potential.
