LncRNA PART1 Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Regulating TFAP2C/DUSP5 Axis via miR-302a-3p
CONCLUSION: PART1 improved the autophagy and apoptosis in H/R-exposed AC16 cells through miR-302a-3p/TFAP2C/DUSP5 axis, which might provide novel targets for MIRI treatment.PMID:38654453 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2023.0131 (Source: Korean Circulation Journal)

Neuromodulation for Atrial Fibrillation Control
Korean Circ J. 2024 Mar 18. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2024.0050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTTrigger and functional substrate are related to the tone of autonomic nervous system, and the role of the autonomic nerve is more significant in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) compared to non-paroxysmal AF. We have several options for neuromodulation to help to manage patients with AF. Neuromodulation targets can be divided into efferent and afferent pathways. On the efferent side, block would be an intuitive approach. However, permanent block is hard to achieve due to completeness of the procedure and reinnervation issues. Temporary...

Lower Atrial Fibrillation Risk With Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors Than With Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitors in Individuals With Type 2 Diabetes: A Nationwide Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: In this nationwide cohort study of individuals with type 2 diabetes, treatment with SGLT2i was associated with a lower risk of AF compared with treatment with DPP-4i.PMID:38654455 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2023.0234 (Source: Korean Circulation Journal)

COVID-19 Vaccination-Related Myocarditis: What We Learned From Our Experience and What We Need to Do in The Future
Korean Circ J. 2024 Apr 1. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2024.0065. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has led to a global health crisis with substantial mortality and morbidity. To combat the COVID-19 pandemic, various vaccines have been developed, but unexpected serious adverse events including vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia, carditis, and thromboembolic events have been reported and became a huddle for COVID-19 vaccination. Vaccine-related myocarditis (VRM) is a rare but significant adverse event associated primarily with mRNA vacci...

Beta Blockers in Contemporary Cardiology: Is It Better to Cast Them Out?
Korean Circ J. 2024 Apr;54(4):165-171. doi: 10.4070/kcj.2023.0209.ABSTRACTBeta blockers are one of the commonest prescription drugs in medicine and they have been thought to revolutionize the treatment of heart failure (HF) with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in the last century. In addition to HFrEF, they are prescribed for a variety of diseases in cardiology from hypertension to HF, angina, and stable coronary artery disease (CAD). The increased prescription of beta blockers in conditions like HF with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), and stable CAD may be doing more harm than good as per the data we have so far. T...

Dronedarone Attenuates Ang II-Induced Myocardial Hypertrophy Through Regulating SIRT1/FOXO3/PKIA Axis
CONCLUSIONS: Dronedarone alleviated MH through mediating SIRT1/FOXO3/PKIA axis, which provide more evidences for dronedarone against MH.PMID:38654563 | PMC:PMC11040268 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2023.0197 (Source: Korean Circulation Journal)

The Association of CHADS-P2A2RC Risk Score With Clinical Outcomes in Patients Taking P2Y12 Inhibitor Monotherapy After 3 Months of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy Following Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: The CHADS-P2A2RC risk score is valuable in discriminating high-ischemic-risk patients. Even in such patients with a high risk of ischemic events, P2Y12 inhibitor monotherapy was associated with a lower incidence of bleeding without increased risk of ischemic events compared with prolonged DAPT.TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT02079194.PMID:38654565 | PMC:PMC11040264 | DOI:10.4070/kcj.2023.0268 (Source: Korean Circulation Journal)
