Background: The heart expresses 2 main subtypes of cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA; type I and II) that differ in their regulatory subunits, RIα and RIIα. Embryonic lethality of RIα knockout mice limits the current understanding of type I PKA function in the myocardium. The objective of this study was to test the role of RIα in adult heart contractility and pathological remodeling.

Cardiomyopathy is defined as structural and functional myocardial abnormality not attributed to ischemic, valvular, hypertensive, or congenital cardiac causes. The main phenotypes of cardiomyopathy include hypertrophic, dilated, non-dilated left ventricular, restrictive, arrhythmogenic right ventricular, Takotsubo, and left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathies. A significant proportion of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) cases represents patients with genetic mutations, most commonly titin gene truncating variants (TTNtv).

Background: Propranolol, a non-selective beta-blocker, is commonly used for migraine prevention, but its impact on stroke risk among migraine patients remains controversial. Using two large electronic health records-based datasets, we examined stroke risk differences between migraine patients with- and without- documented use of propranolol.
Methods: This retrospective case-control study utilized EHR data from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC) and the All of Us Research Program.

β-adrenergic blocker group of medicines has been traditionally used to control high blood pressure since propranolol was discovered by Sir James Black almost 50 years ago. They were the drug of choice in hypertension (HTN) associated with ischemic heart disease, tachyarrhythmias including atrial fibrillation (AF), and anxiety. Congestive cardiac failure was a relative contraindication, but with major advances in science, it became an absolute indication.
