Kounis Syndrome Following Moxifloxacin and Deflazacort Administration.

Eur J Case Rep Intern Med

December 2024

Emergency Department, Ente Ospedaliero Cantonale - Ospedale Regionale di Lugano, Lugano, Switzerland.

Unlabelled: Kounis syndrome (KS), characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and allergic reactions, can be triggered by a range of factors and drugs. We report on the case of a patient who arrived at our emergency department (ED) with symptoms of an allergic reaction after taking moxifloxacin and deflazacort orally. In the ED, the patient experienced a 5-minute episode of oppressive chest pain.

A Probabilistic Modeling Framework for the Prediction of Spontaneous Premature Beats and Reentry Initiation.

Heart Rhythm

January 2025

Office of Science and Engineering Laboratories, Center for Devices and Radiological Health, Food and Drug Administration, Silver Spring, MD, USA. Electronic address:

Background: Spontaneously occurring life threatening reentrant arrhythmias result when a propagating premature beat encounters a region with significant dispersion of refractoriness. Although localized structural tissue heterogeneities and prescribed cell functional gradients have been incorporated into computational electrophysiological models, a quantitative framework for the evolution from normal to abnormal behavior that occurs via disease is lacking.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to develop a probabilistic modeling framework that represents the complex interplay of cell function and tissue structure in health and disease which predicts the emergence of premature beats and the initiation of reentry.

Poincaré plot analysis of ECG uncovers beneficial effects of omaveloxolone in a mouse model of Friedreich's ataxia.

Heart Rhythm

January 2025

Department of Molecular Biosciences, University of California, Davis, CA, USA; Department of Basic Sciences, California Northstate University, Elk Grove, CA. Electronic address:

Background: Friedreich's ataxia (FA) is a rare inherited neuromuscular disorder, where most patients die from lethal cardiomyopathy and arrhythmias. Mechanisms leading to arrhythmic events in FA patients are poorly understood.

Objective: This study aims to examine cardiac electrical signal propagation in mouse model of FA with severe cardiomyopathy and evaluate effects of omaveloxolone (OMAV), the first FDA-approved therapy.

The hERG1 potassium channel conducts the cardiac repolarizing current, IKr. hERG1 has emerged as a therapeutic target for cardiac diseases marked by prolonged actional potential duration (APD). Unfortunately, many hERG1 activators display off-target and proarrhythmic effects that limit their therapeutic potential.

Article Synopsis
  • T wave inversion (TWI) on ECG is common in athletes and can signal either harmless changes or serious heart issues, requiring careful interpretation.
  • Understanding TWI involves considering its location, associated symptoms, and patient demographics, which help differentiate between physiological adaptations and pathological conditions.
  • The management of athletes with TWI includes thorough diagnostic evaluations, follow-ups, and careful considerations regarding sports participation to prioritize athlete safety without excessive restrictions.
