Mice with cardiac-directed overexpression of AC(VI) show increased cardiac responsiveness to beta-adrenergic receptor stimulation but regulation of heart rate is unknown. Telemetry was used to test the hypothesis that mice overexpressing cardiac adenylyl cyclase type VI (AC(VI)) would have normal heart rate regulation. Mice overexpressing cardiac AC(VI) were generated using the alphaMHC promoter and studied 10 days after implantation of telemetry devices. Cardiac transgene AC(VI) presence and expression was verified using PCR, RT-PCR and immunoblotting. Ambulatory heart rates were assessed using time and frequency domain analysis over two 24 hour light-dark cycles. Heart rates then were assessed following pharmacological blockade. Time domain analyses showed ambulatory heart rates were unchanged (AC(VI): 597 +/- 15 (SEM) bpm, Control: 595 +/- 12 bpm; p = 0.92). Circadian heart rate variability was preserved and not different from control mice (ANOVA, p = 0.52). Frequency domain analysis of heart rate variability also was unchanged. No difference in heart rate response to pharmacological autonomic blockade was found (intrinsic heart rate: AC(VI) 622 +/- 17 bpm, control 616 +/- 16 bpm, p = 0.79). In conclusion, mice overexpressing cardiac AC(VI) have normal conscious ambulatory heart rates and normal heart rate variability. Overexpression of cardiac AC(VI) does not result in altered heart rate regulation in contrast to cardiac overexpression of other elements of the beta-adrenergic signaling pathway.

We aimed to investigate the impact of virtual reality (VR) on maternal anxiety, satisfaction, and fetal physiological parameters during non-stress test (NST) in pregnant women. We conducted an extensive search across numerous databases to identify eligible studies from inception to April 2024. Researchers included randomized trials that compared VR intervention during NSTs in the third trimester with control groups.

Positive inotropic responses upon administration of milrinone, an inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase enzyme (PDE), involve a well-pronounced positive chronotropic effect. Here we tested whether milrinone evokes this chronotropic response solely by PDE inhibition or by a concerted action that involve additional pharmacological targets. Milrinone stimulated increases in heart rate were studied in right atrial preparations of guinea pig in the presence or absence of inhibitors of putative ancillary molecular pathways or ion channels: i.

Background: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) represent a major global health challenge, necessitating up-to-date data on its burden for effective care planning and resource allocation. This study comprehensively analyzes the global, regional, and national CVD burden and associated risks from 1990 to 2021.
Methods And Results: We performed a secondary analysis of CVD burden and risk factors using the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study.

E-point septal separation (EPSS) and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) are M-mode measures of left and right ventricular systolic function, with limited pediatric point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) research. We conducted a cross-sectional study in a pediatric emergency department, enrolling 12-17-year-olds without cardiopulmonary complaints. Exclusion criteria included abnormal vital signs, fever, altered mental status, or psychiatric illness.

Background: While the effects of sleep deprivation on cognitive function are well-documented, its impact on high-intensity endurance performance and underlying neural mechanisms remains underexplored, especially in the context of search and rescue operations where both physical and mental performance are essential. This study examines the neurophysiological basis of sleep deprivation on high-intensity endurance using electroencephalography (EEG). In this crossover study, twenty firefighters were subjected to both sleep deprivation (SD) and normal sleep conditions, with each participant performing endurance treadmill exercise the following morning after each condition.
