    Abstract Giant mitochondria are frequently observed in different disease models within the brain, kidney, and liver. In cardiac muscle, these enlarged organelles are present across diverse physiological and pathophysiological conditions including in ageing and exercise, and clinically in alcohol-induced heart disease and various cardiomyopathies. This mitochondrial aberration is widely considered an early structural hallmark of disease leading to adverse organ function. In this thematic paper, we discuss the current state-of-knowledge on the presence, structure and functional implications of giant mitochondria in heart muscle. Despite its demonstrated reoccurrence in different heart diseases, the literature on this pathophysiological phenomenon remains relatively sparse since its initial observations in the early 60s. We review historical and contemporary investigations from cultured cardiomyocytes to human tissue samples to address the role of giant mitochondria in cardiac health and disease. Finally, we discuss their significance for the future development of novel mitochondria-targeted therapies to improve cardiac metabolism and functionality.

    Abstract Background: Desmoplakin (DSP) cardiomyopathy is a rare genetic condition characterized by repeated inflammatory myocardial injury and is associated with ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death. Diagnosis is challenging and requires a combination of genetic testing and advanced imaging techniques.
    Case summary: We present the case of a 38-year-old woman with recurrent episodes of subclinical myocarditis. Investigation using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cMRI) and genetic testing revealed a diagnosis of DSP cardiomyopathy. Her disease was initially responsive to corticosteroid therapy but quickly relapsed when treatment was tapered. Management of her condition required significant immunosuppression and the subsequent insertion of an implantable cardiac defibrillator due to her risk of sudden cardiac death.
    Discussion: Cardiac MRI and genetic testing are key diagnostic techniques in the assessment of patients with recurrent myocarditis and cardiomyopathy. The management of cardiomyopathies with an inflammatory component is not completely understood; however, there is likely a key role for immune suppression therapies. Furthermore, there are several cardiomyopathy genetic variants including DSP which require careful risk stratification due to an increased risk of sudden cardiac death.

    Abstract Women have been historically underrepresented in clinical trials of heart failure (HF). We aimed to assess for sex differences in patient characteristics and the efficacy of guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in HF. Systematic literature search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of GDMT reporting cardiovascular outcomes by sex in patients with HF. The primary outcome was the composite of cardiovascular death and hospitalization for HF. Risk ratios (RR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were pooled using inverse variance weighting and random effects meta-analysis. Twenty-six RCTs totaling 84,818 participants (27% women) were included. Women with HF were older, had higher New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, more hypertension and obesity, and higher mean left ventricular ejection fraction compared to men. There was evidence for most GDMT in reducing the primary outcome in women with HF with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) (angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin-receptor blocker [RR 0.86, 95% CI 0.75-0.97], angiotensin-receptor blocker/neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) [RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.62-0.94], beta-blocker [RR 0.67, 95% CI 0.51-0.89], ivabradine [RR 0.74, 95% CI 0.60-0.91], and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors [RR 0.66, 95% CI 0.54-0.81]) and a non-significant trend for benefit with mineralocorticoid-receptor-antagonist (MRA) [RR 0.77, 95% CI 0.52-1.16]). Compared to men with HFrEF, GDMT reduced the primary outcome in women to a similar degree across all drug classes (ratio of RR 1.05, 95% CI 0.96-1.14). Despite differences in baseline characteristics and an underrepresentation of women in HF clinical trials, GDMT are as efficacious in women as compared to men in reducing cardiovascular events in HF.
