Article Synopsis
- Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common long-lasting heart rhythm disorder, and understanding the molecular mechanisms behind it, particularly involving microRNAs (miRNAs) and the TASK-1 ion channel, is essential.
- A study analyzed miRNA expression in atrial tissue from patients with normal rhythm and different AF stages, finding that specific miRNAs influence TASK-1 gene and protein levels.
- The findings hint at a significant role of miRNAs in regulating TASK-1 expression and its relation to various clinical factors in patients with AF-related heart changes.
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for mortality. The prevalence, clinical correlates, and prognostic impact of AF in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS) have not yet been investigated in a large patient cohort. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, clinical correlates, and prognostic impact of AF in patients with TTS.

We sought to investigate the clinical predictors and prognostic impact of recovery time for TTS patients. Methods and Results TTS patients from the International Takotsubo Registry were included in this study.

This study sought to explore differences in clinical characteristics and to investigate short- and long-term outcomes in TTS patients with or without malignancy. Methods and Results TTS patients were enrolled from the International Takotsubo Registry.
