Science - Abstract
Connexin 43 (CX43) is one of the major components of gap junctions, the structures responsible for the intercellular communication and transmission of the electrical impulse in the left ventricle. There is limited information on the histological changes of CX43 with age and their effect on electrophysiology, especially in humans. Here, we analyzed left ventricular biopsies from living donors starting at midlife to characterize age-related CX43 remodeling. We assessed its quantity, degree of lateralization, and spatial heterogeneity together with fibrotic deposition. We observed no significant age-related remodeling of CX43. Only spatial heterogeneity increased slightly with age, and this increase was better explained by biological age than by chronological age. Importantly, we found that CX43 features varied considerably among individuals in our population with no relevant relationship to age or fibrosis content, in contrast to animal species. We used our experimental results to feed computational models of human ventricular electrophysiology and to assess the effects of interindividual differences in specific features of CX43 and fibrosis on conduction velocity, action potential duration, and arrhythmogenicity. We found that larger amounts of fibrosis were associated with the highest arrhythmic risk, with this risk being increased when fibrosis deposition was combined with a reduction in CX43 amount and/or with an increase in CX43 spatial heterogeneity. These mechanisms underlying high arrhythmic risk in some individuals were not associated with age in our study population. In conclusion, our data rule out CX43 remodeling as an age-related arrhythmic substrate in the population beyond midlife, but highlight its potential as a proarrhythmic factor at the individual level, especially when combined with increased fibrosis.

Summary: Age-related fibrosis in the left ventricle (LV) has been mainly studied in animals by assessing collagen content. Using second-harmonic generation microscopy and image processing, we evaluated amount, aggregation and spatial distribution of LV collagen in young to old pigs, and middle-age and elder living donors. All collagen features increased when comparing adult and old pigs with young ones, but not when comparing adult with old pigs or middle-age with elder individuals. Remarkably, all collagen parameters strongly correlated with lipofuscin, a biological age marker, in humans. By building patient-specific models of human ventricular tissue electrophysiology, we confirmed that amount and organization of fibrosis modulated arrhythmia vulnerability, and that distribution should be accounted for arrhythmia risk assessment. In conclusion, we characterize the age-associated changes in LV collagen and its potential implications for ventricular arrhythmia development. Consistency between pig and human results substantiate the pig as a relevant model of age-related LV collagen dynamics.

Introducción y objetivos: la oxigenación con membrana extracorpórea (ECMO) ha resultado ser una opción terapéutica en los pacientes con insuficiencia respiratoria y/o cardiaca severa por COVID-19. Las indicaciones y manejo de estos pacientes están aún por determinar. Nuestro objetivo es evaluar los resultados de la terapia ECMO en pacientes COVID-19 incluidos en un registro prospectivo e intentar optimizar los resultados. Métodos: en marzo de 2020 se inició un registro multicéntrico anónimo prospectivo de pacientes COVID-19 tratados mediante ECMO veno-arterial (V- A) o veno-venosa (V-V). Se registraron las variables clínicas, analíticas y respiratorias pre-implante, datos de implante y evolución de la terapia. El evento primario fue la mortalidad hospitalaria de cualquier causa y los eventos secundarios fueron la recuperación funcional y el evento combinado de recuperación funcional y mortalidad de cualquier causa a partir de los 3 meses de seguimiento post-alta. Resultados: se analizaron un total de 365 pacientes procedentes de 25 hospitales, 347 V-V y 18 V-A (edad media 52.7 y 49.4 años respectivamente). Los pacientes con ECMO V-V fueron más obesos, presentaban menos fracaso orgánico diferente al pulmonar y precisaron menos terapia inotrópica previa al implante. El 33.3% y 34.9% de los pacientes con ECMO V-A y V-V respectivamente fueron dados de alta del hospital (p=NS) y la mortalidad fue similar, del 56.2% y 50.9% de los casos respectivamente, la inmensa mayoría durante la ECMO y predominantemente por fracaso multiorgánico. El 14.0% (51 pacientes) permanecían ingresados. El seguimiento medio fue de 196+/-101.7 días. En el análisis multivariante, resultaron protectores de evento primario en pacientes con ECMO V-V el peso corporal (OR 0.967, IC 95% 0.95-0.99, p=0.004) y la procedencia del propio hospital (OR 0.48, IC 95% 0.27-0.88, p=0.018), mientras que la edad (OR 1.063, IC 95% 1.005-1.12, p=0.032), la hipertensión arterial (3.593, IC 95% 1.06-12.19, p=0.04) y las complicaciones en ECMO globales (2.44, IC 95% 0.27-0.88, p=0.019), digestivas (OR 4,23, IC 95% 1.27-14.07, p=0.019) y neurológicas (OR 4.66, IC 95% 1.39-15.62, p=0.013) fueron predictores independientes de mortalidad. El único predictor independiente de aparición de los eventos secundarios resultó el momento de seguimiento del paciente. Conclusiones: la terapia con ECMO permite supervivencias hospitalarias hasta del 50% en pacientes con COVID-19 grave. La edad, la HTA y las complicaciones en ECMO son los predictores de mortalidad hospitalaria en pacientes con ECMO V-V. Un mayor peso corporal y la procedencia del propio hospital son factores protectores. La recuperación funcional sólo se ve influenciada por el tiempo de seguimiento transcurrido tras el alta. La estandarización de los criterios de implante y manejo del paciente con COVID grave, mejoraría los resultados y la futura investigación clínica

Cardiac tissue slices preserve the heterogeneous structure and multicellularity of the myocardium and allow its functional characterization. However, access to human ventricular samples is scarce. We aim to demonstrate that slices from small transmural core biopsies collected from living donors during routine cardiac surgery preserve structural and functional properties of larger myocardial specimens, allowing accurate electrophysiological characterization. In pigs, we compared left ventricular transmural core biopsies with transmural tissue blocks from the same ventricular region. In humans, we analyzed transmural biopsies and papillary muscles from living donors. All tissues were vibratomesliced. By histological analysis of the transmural biopsies, we showed that tissue architecture and cellular organization were preserved. Enzymatic and vital staining methods verifed viability. Optically mapped transmembrane potentials confrmed that action potential duration and morphology were similar in pig biopsies and tissue blocks. Action potential morphology and duration in human biopsies and papillary muscles agreed with published ranges. In both pigs and humans, responses to increasing pacing frequencies and β-adrenergic stimulation were similar in transmural biopsies and larger tissues. We show that it is possible to successfully collect and characterize tissue slices from human myocardial biopsies routinely extracted from living donors, whose behavior mimics that of larger myocardial preparations both structurally and electrophysiologically.

Introducción: Los tumores cardíacos primarios tienen una prevalencia de 0.02% (200 casos por millón/habitantes), el 75% de ellos son benignos, de estos los mixomas son responsables del 50% de casos. La sintomatología inicial suele ser inespecífica dependiendo de la localización del tumor y de la presencia de alteraciones hemodinámicas, el sincope aislado puede ser un raro inicio de este tumor auricular. Objetivo: Describir el caso clínico de un mixoma auricular en una paciente sin factores de riesgo asociados, que presenta un episodio de sincope con ausencia de sintomatología cardiovascular. Material y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo, presentación de caso clínico con diagnóstico de mixoma auricular. Resultados: Se describe la evolución clínica de una paciente de 63 años a la que se diagnostica de mixoma auricular izquierdo luego de presentar cuadro de sincope clásico horas antes de su ingreso. A pesar de la gran variabilidad sintomática inicial, es importante tener un alto índice de sospecha para un diagnostico oportuno y evitar sus potenciales complicaciones, en el caso presentado su detección oportuna nos permitió brindar un adecuado manejo clínico y quirúrgico, evidenciado por su evolución favorable. Conclusiones: Los tumores intracardiacos deben ser considerados como urgencias en el campo de la cirugía cardíaca porque implican peligro de muerte súbita inminente. Ante la presencia de un sincope sin que se determine causa neurológica evidente se hace necesario descartar patología cardiaca primaria. La ecocardiografía transesofágica es un pilar importante en el diagnóstico. El tratamiento quirúrgico es de elección y su pronóstico y calidad de vida a largo plazo es bueno

Aging is the main risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. In humans, cardiac aging remains poorly characterized. Most studies are based on chronological age (CA) and disregard biological age (BA), the actual physiological age (result of the aging rate on the organ structure and function), thus yielding potentially imperfect outcomes. Deciphering the molecular basis of ventricular aging, especially by BA, could lead to major progresses in cardiac research. We aim to describe the transcriptome dynamics of the aging left ventricle (LV) in humans according to both CA and BA and characterize the contribution of microRNAs, key transcriptional regulators. BA is measured using two CA‐associated transcriptional markers: CDKN2A expression, a cell senescence marker, and apparent age (AppAge), a highly complex transcriptional index. Bioinformatics analysis of 132 LV samples shows that CDKN2A expression and AppAge represent transcriptomic changes better than CA. Both BA markers are biologically validated in relation to an aging phenotype associated with heart dysfunction, the amount of cardiac fibrosis. BA‐based analyses uncover depleted cardiac‐specific processes, among other relevant functions, that are undetected by CA. Twenty BA‐related microRNAs are identified, and two of them highly heart‐enriched that are present in plasma. We describe a microRNA‐gene regulatory network related to cardiac processes that are partially validated in vitro and in LV samples from living donors. We prove the higher sensitivity of BA over CA to explain transcriptomic changes in the aging myocardium and report novel molecular insights into human LV biological aging. Our results can find application in future therapeutic and biomarker research., The biological age, measured by transcriptional markers, explains better than the chronological age the transcriptional dynamics of the human aging myocardium. microRNAs that change expression in the aging left ventricle are identified. Such microRNAs potentially regulate genes with cardiac‐specific functions. Cardiac‐enriched microRNAs that increase or decrease with biological age are present in plasma. They are thus candidate biomarkers to represent the biological age of the heart.
