In this study, we report the identification and amino acid sequence of a novel two-pore domain potassium channel (TASK-1) in chicken. This protein, cTASK-1, is highly similar to mouse and human TASK-1 particularly within the pore regions. We describe the expression profile of both chicken and mouse TASK-1 in the embryonic heart as the ventricular conduction system develops. The developmental distribution of TASK-1 is similar in chicken and mouse. Initially, TASK-1 is expressed throughout the myocardium of the early heart tube. However, as cardiogenesis proceeds, ventricular expression becomes restricted to the trabeculated myocardium and eventually the bundle of His, bundle branches, and Purkinje fibers of the mature conduction system. This finding suggests that components of the ventricular conduction system differentiate from TASK-1-positive myocytes of the early heart tube that retain TASK-1 expression as they mature. Our results are consistent with a common mechanism for ventricular conduction system development in avians and mammals, despite differences in the anatomy of the mature conduction systems of these organisms.

The association of perirenal adipose tissue accumulation with left ventricular hypertrophy and the mediating role of insulin resistance: a cross-sectional study involving 1112 individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
January 2025
Department of Endocrinology, Longyan First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, Longyan, Fujian, China.
Objective: Recent studies have underscored the metabolic and cardiovascular regulatory capacity of perirenal adipose tissue (PAT), implicating its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). This investigation aims to assess the relationship between increased PAT mass and LVH, while also examining the potential mediating role of insulin resistance in this relationship among individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Method: 1112 individuals with T2DM were prospectively recruited for this study.
Enhanced recovery in type A aortic dissection evaluating the efficacy and feasibility of early myocardial reperfusion.
Front Cardiovasc Med

Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, General Hospital of Northern Theater Command, Shenyang, China.
Background: This study investigates the feasibility and early outcomes of early myocardial reperfusion in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD), evaluating its effectiveness and potential benefits compared to traditional cardioplegic arrest techniques.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 168 patients diagnosed with TAAD who underwent surgery at the General Hospital of the Northern Theater Command in China from January 2021 to July 2024. Patients were divided into two groups: early myocardial reperfusion (EMR group, = 66) and cardioplegic arrest (CA group, = 102).
The effect of thermoelectric craniocerebral cooling device on protecting brain functions in post-cardiac arrest syndrome.
Front Cardiovasc Med
January 2025
Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, Faculty of Medicine, Bezmialem Vakif University, Istanbul, Türkiye.
Aim: This study aimed to protect brain functions in patients who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest through the application of local cerebral hypothermia. By utilizing a specialized thermal hypothermia device, this approach sought to mitigate ischemic brain injury associated with post-cardiac arrest syndrome, enhance survival rates, and improve neurological outcomes as measured by standardized scales.
Methods: A prospective, single-center cohort study was conducted involving patients aged ≥18 years who experienced in-hospital cardiac arrest and achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).
Factors influencing the use of direct oral anticoagulants among patients with chronic chagas cardiomyopathy.

Objective: Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC) carries a high risk of embolic events due to structural changes in the left ventricle and frequent conduction disorders. However, there is limited data on anticoagulant prescription patterns and factors influencing the use of direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in these patients. This study aims to characterize CCC patients based on the anticoagulant therapy received and identify factors associated with DOACs use.

The Cox-Maze IV (CMIV) procedure is the mainstay in surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF), but the rate of AF recurrence after the CMIV procedure in patients with persistent AF is difficult to accurately evaluate. In this study, we aimed to develop and validate a risk prediction model of AF recurrence within 1 year after undergoing the Cox-Maze IV procedure. We retrospectively enrolled 303 consecutive patients who underwent the Cox-Maze IV procedure for persistent AF concomitant with other cardiac procedures at our institute between 2019 and 2021.
