Stimulation of histamine H-receptors produces a positive inotropic effect in the human atrium.

Naunyn Schmiedebergs Arch Pharmacol

December 2024

Institute for Pharmacology and Toxicology, Medical Faculty, Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg, Magdeburger Straße 4, D-06097, Halle (Saale), Germany.

There is a controversy whether histamine H-receptor activation raises or lowers or does not affect contractility in the human heart. Therefore, we studied stimulation of H-receptors in isolated electrically stimulated (one beat per second) human atrial preparations (HAP). For comparison, we measured force of contraction in left atrial preparations (LA) from mice with overexpression of the histamine H-receptor in the heart (H-TG).

Echocardiographic Changes in Dogs with Stage B2 Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease Treated with Pimobendan Monotherapy.

Department of Small Animal Clinical Science, School of Veterinary Science, University of Liverpool, Cardiology Service, Small Animal Teaching Hospital, Chester High Road, Neston CH64 7TE, UK.

The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic pimobendan monotherapy on cardiac size in dogs with stage B2 myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD). Data from 31 dogs diagnosed with MMVD and cardiomegaly (LA/Ao ≥ 1.6 and LVIDdn ≥ 1.

Recently published data suggested significantly lower pacing-induced cardiomyopathy (PICM) incidence with conduction system pacing (CSP). Because most data evaluated only the impact on the left ventricle, this study aimed to assess changes in echocardiographic parameters of morphology and function for all heart chambers in patients with baseline preserved and mid-range LVEF over a medium-term follow-up period after CSP. A total of 128 consecutive patients with LVEF > 40% and successful CSP for bradyarrhythmic indication were prospectively enrolled.

Haemodynamic and hyperaemic effects of adenosine in patients with atrial fibrillation undergoing quantitative myocardial perfusion cardiovascular magnetic resonance.

Eur Heart J Imaging Methods Pract

July 2024

Department of Cardiovascular Sciences, University of Leicester and the National Institute for Health Research Leicester Biomedical Research Centre, Glenfield Hospital, Leicester LE3 9QP, UK.

Aims: Patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are thought to have an attenuated response to adenosine during vasodilator stress testing. We sought to investigate the haemodynamic and hyperaemic effects of adenosine in patients with AF undergoing adenosine-stress cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) assessment.

Methods And Results: We retrospectively examined 318 patients referred for clinical adenosine-stress CMR (AF = 158, sinus rhythm [SR] = 160).

Effect of Digoxin vs Beta-Blockers on Left Atrial Strain for Heart Rate-Controlled Atrial Fibrillation: The DIGOBET-AF Randomized Clinical Trial.

Unlabelled: BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Left atrial strain (LAS) has prognostic value in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Consequently, therapies that improve LAS may help reduce AF-related adverse cardiac events. We aimed to compare how digoxin and bisoprolol modulate LAS in patients with AF being treated with rate control.
