    Abstract TRPV2 is a well-conserved channel protein expressed in almost all tissues. Cardiomyocyte TRPV2 is expressed in the intercalated disks of the cardiac sarcomeres, where it is involved in maintaining the proper mechanoelectric coupling and structure. It is also abundantly expressed in the intracellular pools, mainly the endoplasmic reticulum. Under pathological conditions, TRPV2 is translocated to the sarcolemma, where it mediates an abnormal [Ca]

    Abstract Background: Electrocardiography abnormalities are a common finding in athletes. To facilitate the differentiation of physiological adaptation versus pathological remodeling, a series of guidelines has emerged in the past decade that attempt to improve specificity while maintaining a high sensitivity. Recently, T wave inversion in the athletic population gained more attention, resulting in accelerated research leading to novel findings not yet integrated into clinical practice. We aim to simplify the knowledge to date and integrate it into one easy to use practical flowchart.

    Abstract Background: Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) is a glycoprotein released by renal tubular cells upon nephrotoxic or ischemic events and is considered an early marker of tubular damage. We aimed to demonstrate the presence of early renal injury detected by elevated NGAL levels taken before contrast administration in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
    Patients and methods: We prospectively included 88 patients with STEMI treated with PCI. Blood samples for plasma NGAL were drawn immediately before PCI (baseline NGAL; NGAL1) and 24 h after PCI (NGAL2). Abnormal elevations in NGAL levels were defined using the cardiac surgery associated NGAL score (NGAL score) with NGAL levels at least 100 ng/ml, suggesting renal tubular damage. Patients were also assessed for the dynamics between NGAL2 and NGAL1 levels.
    Results: The mean age of the patients was 62 ± 13 years and 78% were men. A total of 50/88 (56%) patients had baseline NGAL level of at least 100, suggesting possible tubular damage before PCI. Only 10 patients progressed to clinical acute kidney injury during hospitalization, all of whom had baseline NGAL level of at least 100 (P < 0.001). Among patients with baseline NGAL at least 100, 28/50 (56%) showed a decrease in the NGAL level within 24 h, whereas only 9/50 (18%) showed an elevation in the NGAL level. In contrast, only 7/38 (19%) patients with baseline NGAL level less than 100 showed an elevation in NGAL levels within 24 h.
    Conclusion: Elevated NGAL levels before primary PCI suggesting renal tubular damage are common among STEMI patients. Further trials are needed to assess the complex cardio-renal interactions.

    Abstract Background: The causes of heart failure (HF) during high-grade atrioventricular block (AVB) are poorly understood. This study assessed the mechanisms of HF in patients with AVB.
    Methods: We studied patients presenting (between 2012 and 2016) with high-grade AVB not related to acute myocardial infarction. Patients with preexisting significant valvular heart disease were excluded. All patients underwent comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation during AVB, before pacemaker implantation. The diagnosis of HF was based on the Framingham criteria.
    Results: A total of 122 patients were included in the study, 50% male, average age 76 ± 13 years. Twenty-eight patients (23%) with AVB presented with HF. Univariate correlates associated with HF were decrease in cardiac output (CO) (odds ratio [OR] 0.68 [95% confidence interval 0.49-0.9] per L/min; P = 0.007), measures of impaired left ventricular (LV) compliance, and increase in diastolic mitral regurgitation (MR) volume (OR 1.04 [1.01-1.07] per cc; P = 0.0016). Ventricular rate during AVB and LV ejection fraction were not significantly associated with the presence of HF. By multivariate nominal logistic analysis, the best model associated with HF included diastolic MR volume (OR 1.04 [1.001-1.09]; P = 0.02), A-wave deceleration time (OR 0.96 [0.94-0.9]; P = 0.001), and CO (OR 0.92 [0.4-1.00]; P = 0.005) (χ
    Conclusions: In the setting of high-degree AVB, clinical HF occurrence correlates with impaired LV compliance and diastolic MR volume, but not with heart rate or LV ejection fraction. The cardiac performance of patients with poor LV compliance and high-volume diastolic MR may show maladjustment to slow heart rates, manifesting as low CO and HF.

    Abstract Background: Renal injury induces major changes in plasma and cardiac metabolites. Using a small- animal in vivo model, we sought to identify a key metabolite whose levels are significantly modified following an acute kidney injury (AKI) and to analyze whether this agent could offer cardiac protection once an ischemic event has occurred.
    Methods and results: Metabolomics profiling of cardiac lysates and plasma samples derived from rats that underwent AKI 1 or 7 days earlier by 5/6 nephrectomy versus sham-operated controls was performed. We detected 26 differential metabolites in both heart and plasma samples at the two selected time points, relative to sham. Out of which, kynurenic acid (kynurenate, KYNA) seemed most relevant. Interestingly, KYNA given at 10 mM concentration significantly rescued the viability of H9C2 cardiac myoblast cells grown under anoxic conditions and largely increased their mitochondrial content and activity as determined by flow cytometry and cell staining with MitoTracker dyes. Moreover, KYNA diluted in the drinking water of animals induced with an acute myocardial infarction, highly enhanced their cardiac recovery according to echocardiography and histopathology.
    Conclusion: KYNA may represent a key metabolite absorbed by the heart following AKI as part of a compensatory mechanism aiming at preserving the cardiac function. KYNA preserves the in vitro myocyte viability following exposure to anoxia in a mechanism that is mediated, at least in part, by protection of the cardiac mitochondria. A short-term administration of KYNA may be highly beneficial in the treatment of the acute phase of kidney disease in order to attenuate progression to reno-cardiac syndrom and to reduce the ischemic myocardial damage following an ischemic event.
