Aims Current long QT syndrome (LQTS) therapy, largely based on beta-blockade, does not prevent arrhythmias in all patients; therefore, novel therapies are warranted. Pharmacological inhibition of the serum/glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1-Inh) has been shown to shorten action potential duration (APD) in LQTS type 3. We aimed to investigate whether SGK1-Inh could similarly shorten APD in LQTS types 1 and 2. Methods and results Human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) and hiPSC-cardiac cell sheets (CCS) were obtained from LQT1 and LQT2 patients; CMs were isolated from transgenic LQT1, LQT2, and wild-type (WT) rabbits. Serum/glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 inhibition effects (300 nM–10 µM) on field potential durations (FPD) were investigated in hiPSC-CMs with multielectrode arrays; optical mapping was performed in LQT2 CCS. Whole-cell and perforated patch clamp recordings were performed in isolated LQT1, LQT2, and WT rabbit CMs to investigate SGK1-Inh (3 µM) effects on APD. In all LQT2 models across different species (hiPSC-CMs, hiPSC-CCS, and rabbit CMs) and independent of the disease-causing variant (KCNH2-p.A561V/p.A614V/p.G628S/IVS9-28A/G), SGK1-Inh dose-dependently shortened FPD/APD at 0.3–10 µM (by 20–32%/25–30%/44–45%). Importantly, in LQT2 rabbit CMs, 3 µM SGK1-Inh normalized APD to its WT value. A significant FPD shortening was observed in KCNQ1-p.R594Q hiPSC-CMs at 1/3/10 µM (by 19/26/35%) and in KCNQ1-p.A341V hiPSC-CMs at 10 µM (by 29%). No SGK1-Inh-induced FPD/APD shortening effect was observed in LQT1 KCNQ1-p.A341V hiPSC-CMs or KCNQ1-p.Y315S rabbit CMs at 0.3–3 µM. Conclusion A robust SGK1-Inh-induced APD shortening was observed across different LQT2 models, species, and genetic variants but less consistently in LQT1 models. This suggests a genotype- and variant-specific beneficial effect of this novel therapeutic approach in LQTS.

Cardiac arrhythmias are a major cause of death and disability. A large number of experimental cell and animal models have been developed to study arrhythmogenic diseases. These models have provided important insights into the underlying arrhythmia mechanisms and translational options for their therapeutic management. This position paper from the ESC Working Group on Cardiac Cellular Electrophysiology provides an overview of (i) currently available in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo electrophysiological research methodologies, (ii) the most commonly used experimental (cellular and animal) models for cardiac arrhythmias including relevant species differences, (iii) the use of human cardiac tissue, induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC)-derived and in silico models to study cardiac arrhythmias, and (iv) the availability, relevance, limitations, and opportunities of these cellular and animal models to recapitulate specific acquired and inherited arrhythmogenic diseases, including atrial fibrillation, heart failure, cardiomyopathy, myocarditis, sinus node, and conduction disorders and channelopathies. By promoting a better understanding of these models and their limitations, this position paper aims to improve the quality of basic research in cardiac electrophysiology, with the ultimate goal to facilitate the clinical translation and application of basic electrophysiological research findings on arrhythmia mechanisms and therapies.

Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a cardiac arrhythmia disorder associated with sudden death in young adults. With the exception of SCN5A, encoding the cardiac sodium channel Na(V)1.5, susceptibility genes remain largely unknown. Here we performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis comprising 2,820 unrelated cases with BrS and 10,001 controls, and identified 21 association signals at 12 loci (10 new). Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-heritability estimates indicate a strong polygenic influence. Polygenic risk score analyses based on the 21 susceptibility variants demonstrate varying cumulative contribution of common risk alleles among different patient subgroups, as well as genetic associations with cardiac electrical traits and disorders in the general population. The predominance of cardiac transcription factor loci indicates that transcriptional regulation is a key feature of BrS pathogenesis. Furthermore, functional studies conducted on MAPRE2, encoding the microtubule plus-end binding protein EB2, point to microtubule-related trafficking effects on Na(V)1.5 expression as a new underlying molecular mechanism. Taken together, these findings broaden our understanding of the genetic architecture of BrS and provide new insights into its molecular underpinnings. Genome-wide association analyses identify new susceptibility loci for Brugada syndrome. Functional studies implicate microtubule-related trafficking effects on sodium channel expression as an underlying molecular mechanism., European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program [772376-EScORIAL]; Health~Holland; Top Sector Life Sciences Health; Wellcome Trust [076113, 085475, 090355]; Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen-German Research Center for Environmental Health - German Federal Ministry of Education and Research; State of Bavaria; Munich Center of Health Sciences (MC Health), Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitat, as part of LMUinnovativ; research program Etoiles montantes des Pays de la Loire [REGIOCARD RPH081-U1087-REG-PDL]; ANR JCJC LEARN [R21006NN, RPV21014NNA]; H2020-MSCA-IF-2014 Program of the European Commission [RISTRAD-661617]; Canadian Heart Rhythm Society's George Mines Award; European Society of Cardiology research award; Philippa and Marvin Carsley Cardiology Chair; Fondation Leducq; National Institutes of Health (NIH) NHGRI T32 [1T32HG010464-01]; IRP-VERACITIES-New Mechanisms for VEntricular ARrhythmia And CardIomeTabolic DIseasES an I-SITE NExT health and engineering initiative (Ecole Centrale); IRP-VERACITIES-New Mechanisms for VEntricular ARrhythmia And CardIomeTabolic DIseasES an I-SITE NExT health and engineering initiative (Nantes University); IRP-GAINES-Genetic Architecture IN cardiovascular disEaSes - INSERM; CNRS; Amsterdam Cardiovascular Sciences fellowship; NHLBI BioData Catalyst Fellows Program; Dutch Heart Foundation [CVON PREDICT2]; Innovational Research Incentives Scheme Vidi grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Health Research and Development (ZonMw) [91714371]; Robert Lancaster Memorial Fund; Cardiac Risk in the Young; Wetenschappelijk Fonds Willy Gepts VUB-UZ Brussel; VUB IRP project `IMAGica: an Integrative personalized Medical Approach for Genetic diseases, Inherited Cardia Arrhythmias as a model' and Innoviris BRIDGE 2017; project `IGenCare: Integrated Personalised Medical Genomics Care Solution for Patients with Rare Genetic Diseases'; Barts BRC; DZHK (German Centre for Cardiovascular Research); BMBF (German Ministry of Education and Research); Danish Heart Foundation; IWT [140935]; ALS Liga Belgie; National Lottery of Belgium; KU Leuven Opening the Future Fund; HYPERGENES [HEALTH-F4-2007]; Leducq Foundation for Cardiovascular Research grant [18CVD05]; Netherlands CardioVascular Research Initiative [CVON PREDICT2]; NIH [HL47678, HL138103, 1RO1HL092577, R01HL128914, K24HL105780]; W.W.

The aims of this centre-based survey, promoted and disseminated by the European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) was to investigate the current practice for the investigation of Sudden Unexplained Death in the Young (SUDY) amongst European countries. An online questionnaire composed of 21 questions was submitted to the EHRA Research Network, European Cardiac Arrhythmia Genetics (ECGen) Focus Group members, and European Reference Network GUARD-Heart healthcare partners. There were 81 respondents from 24 European countries. The majority (78%) worked in a dedicated clinic focusing on families with inherited cardiac conditions and/or SUDY or had easy access to a nearby one. On average, an autopsy was performed in 43% of SUDY cases. Macroscopic examination of the body and all organs were completed in 71% of cases undergoing autopsy, and expert cardiac examination in 32%. Post-mortem genetic testing was requested on average in 37% of Sudden Arrhythmic Death Syndrome (SADS) cases, but not at all by 20% of survey respondents. Psychological support and bereavement counselling for SADS/SUDY families were available for ≤50% of participants. Whilst electrocardiogram (ECG) and echocardiography were largely employed to investigate SADS relatives, there was an inconsistent approach to the use of provocative testing with exercise ECG, sodium channel blocking drugs, and/or epinephrine and genetic testing. The survey highlighted a significant heterogeneity of service provision and variable adherence to current recommendations for the investigation of SUDY, partly attributable to the availability of dedicated units and specialist tests, genetic evaluation, and post-mortem examination.

Sex-related differences in prevalence, clinical presentation, and outcome of cardiac channelopathies are increasingly recognized, despite their autosomal transmission and hence equal genetic predisposition among sexes. In congenital long-QT syndrome, adult women carry a greater risk for Torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death than do men. In contrast, Brugada syndrome is observed predominantly in adult men, with a considerably higher risk of arrhythmic sudden cardiac death in adult men than in women. In both conditions, the risk for arrhythmias varies with age. Sex-associated differences appear less evident in other cardiac channelopathies, likely a reflection of their rare(r) occurrence and our limited knowledge. In several cardiac channelopathies, sex-specific predictors of outcome have been identified. Together with genetic and environmental factors, sex hormones contribute to the sex-related disparities in cardiac channelopathies through modulation of the expression and function of cardiac ion channels. Despite these insights, essential knowledge gaps exist in the mechanistic understanding of these differences, warranting further investigation. Precise application of the available knowledge may improve the individualized care of patients with cardiac channelopathies. Promoting the reporting of sex-related phenotype and outcome parameters in clinical and experimental studies and advancing research on cardiac channelopathy animal models should translate into improved patient outcomes. This review provides a critical digest of the current evidence for sex-related differences in cardiac channelopathies and emphasizes their clinical implications and remaining gaps requiring further research.

Brugada syndrome is a rare cardiac arrhythmia disorder, causally related to SCN5A mutations in around 20% of cases. Through a genome-wide association study of 312 individuals with Brugada syndrome and 1,115 controls, we detected 2 significant association signals at the SCN10A locus (rs10428132) and near the HEY2 gene (rs9388451). Independent replication confirmed both signals (meta-analyses: rs10428132, P = 1.0 × 10(-68); rs9388451, P = 5.1 × 10(-17)) and identified one additional signal in SCN5A (at 3p21; rs11708996, P = 1.0 × 10(-14)). The cumulative effect of the three loci on disease susceptibility was unexpectedly large (Ptrend = 6.1 × 10(-81)). The association signals at SCN5A-SCN10A demonstrate that genetic polymorphisms modulating cardiac conduction can also influence susceptibility to cardiac arrhythmia. The implication of association with HEY2, supported by new evidence that Hey2 regulates cardiac electrical activity, shows that Brugada syndrome may originate from altered transcriptional programming during cardiac development. Altogether, our findings indicate that common genetic variation can have a strong impact on the predisposition to rare diseases.

- Abstract
Cardioprotection by K(ATP) channel openers during ischemia is well documented although ill understood. Proarrhythmic effects may be an important drawback. K(ATP) channel modulation influences neurotransmitter release during ischemia in brain synaptosomes. Therefore, we studied the effects of K(ATP) channel modulation on myocardial noradrenaline release and arrhythmias in ischemic rabbit hearts. Isolated rabbit hearts were perfused according to Langendorff and stimulated. Local electrograms were recorded and K+-selective electrodes were inserted in the left ventricular free wall. Cromakalim (3 microM) or glibenclamide (3 microM) was added 20 min prior to induction of global ischemia. After 15, 20, or 30 min of ischemia, hearts were reperfused and noradrenaline content of the first 100 ml of reperfusate was measured. Cromakalim (n = 16) prevented the second rise of extracellular [K(+)] in accordance with its cardioprotective effect. Cromakalim significantly reduced noradrenaline release after 15 min (mean, 169 +/- SEM 97 pmol/gr dry weight vs. control 941 +/- 278; p < 0.05) and 20 min of ischemia (230 +/- 125 pmol/gr dry wt vs. control 1,460 +/- 433; p < 0.05), but after 30 min of ischemia, the difference in noradrenaline release was no longer significant (cromakalim 2,703 +/- 1,195 pmol/gr dry wt vs. control 5,413 +/- 1,310; p = 0.08). Ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia occurred in 10 of 13 control hearts (77%) (n = 19), in six of 10 glibenclamide-treated hearts (60%) (n = 15), and in six of 14 cromakalim-treated hearts (43%) (p = NS). Cromakalim significantly accelerated onset of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (mean +/- SEM onset after 12.5 +/- 1.6 min ischemia vs. control 16.2 +/- 0.7 min; p < 0.05). Noradrenaline release occurred only in cromakalim-treated hearts with early-onset arrhythmias whereas no noradrenaline release was observed in cromakalim-treated hearts without ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. Our results show that activation of the K(ATP) channel by cromakalim during ischemia reduces myocardial noradrenaline release and postpones the onset of irreversible damage, contributing to the cardioprotective potential of K(ATP) openers during myocardial ischemia.

- Abstract
Objective: Acute ischemia comes with two phases of life-threatening arrhythmias, early (within 10 minutes, 1A) and late (after about 15 minutes, 1B). The mechanism of the latter is unknown and in this paper, we test the hypothesis that a phase of intermediate coupling between surviving epicardium and inexcitable midmyocardium underlies 1B arrhythmias., Methods: Pig hearts (n=26) were retrogradely perfused with a blood Tyrode's mixture. The left anterior descending artery was occluded. We investigated (1) inducibility of ventricular fibrillation (VF) with programmed stimulation, (2) tissue impedance (Rt) heterogeneity within the ischemic zone, (3) multiple subepicardial and midmyocardial electrograms, (4) subepicardial lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glycogen content., Results: In nine of ten hearts, one--three premature stimuli caused VF between 14 and 53 min of ischemia. This typically happened when the Rt of the ischemic zone had increased up to 40% of its final value. More uncoupling terminated the period of VF inducibility. The excitability of the surviving subepicardial layer was depressed during the same period with partial uncoupling, but recovered when the uncoupling from the midmyocardium had progressed further., Conclusions: We show that 1B-VF can be induced within a distinct time window and coincides with a distinct range of Rt rise. Subepicardium is electrically depressed, presumably through coupling with midmyocardium, complete uncoupling causes subepicardial recovery and terminates the substrate for 1B-VF. Hence, we suggest that the substrate for 1B-VF consists of intermediate coupling of subepicardium and midmyocardium.

- Abstract
Objective: To investigate the extent to which early radiologic damage is predicted by joint inflammation in patients with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA)., Methods: Regression analysis was performed on 1-year progression of total radiologic damage for baseline characteristics and cumulative disease activity measures, and the effects of continued joint inflammation on the progression of damage in separate joint groups were investigated., Results: Odds ratios for progression of total damage were 12 for the presence of rheumatoid factor, 5 for the presence of damage at baseline, and 2 for cumulative joint inflammation. A positive association between continued joint inflammation and progression of damage was found to be statistically significant for most joint groups., Conclusion: Progression of radiologic damage in patients with newly diagnosed RA is independently associated with the presence of rheumatoid factor and damage at baseline and with cumulative joint inflammation.
