Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA), in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, and obesity) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, glucose control, and metabolic syndrome) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The AHA Heart Disease and Stroke Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, brain health, complications of pregnancy, kidney disease, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, sudden cardiac arrest, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cardiomyopathy, heart failure, valvular disease, venous thromboembolism, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The AHA, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States and globally to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2024 AHA Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2023 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and AHA staff members. The AHA strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional global data, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

The genetic basis of apparently idiopathic ventricular fibrillation: a retrospective overview. Europace 2023; 25:euad336. [PMID: 37967257 PMCID: PMC10665040 DOI: 10.1093/europace/euad336] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/19/2023] [Accepted: 11/03/2023] [Indexed: 11/17/2023] Open
Abstract
AIMS During the diagnostic work-up of patients with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (VF), next-generation sequencing panels can be considered to identify genotypes associated with arrhythmias. However, consensus for gene panel testing is still lacking, and variants of uncertain significance (VUS) are often identified. The aim of this study was to evaluate genetic testing and its results in idiopathic VF patients. METHODS AND RESULTS We investigated 419 patients with available medical records from the Dutch Idiopathic VF Registry. Genetic testing was performed in 379 (91%) patients [median age at event 39 years (27-51), 60% male]. Single-gene testing was performed in 87 patients (23%) and was initiated more often in patients with idiopathic VF before 2010. Panel testing was performed in 292 patients (77%). The majority of causal (likely) pathogenic variants (LP/P, n = 56, 15%) entailed the DPP6 risk haplotype (n = 39, 70%). Moreover, 10 LP/P variants were found in cardiomyopathy genes (FLNC, MYL2, MYH7, PLN (two), TTN (four), RBM20), and 7 LP/P variants were identified in genes associated with cardiac arrhythmias (KCNQ1, SCN5A (2), RYR2 (four)). For eight patients (2%), identification of an LP/P variant resulted in a change of diagnosis. In 113 patients (30%), a VUS was identified. Broad panel testing resulted in a higher incidence of VUS in comparison to single-gene testing (38% vs. 3%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Almost all patients from the registry underwent, albeit not broad, genetic testing. The genetic yield of causal LP/P variants in idiopathic VF patients is 5%, increasing to 15% when including DPP6. In specific cases, the LP/P variant is the underlying diagnosis. A gene panel specifically for idiopathic VF patients is proposed.

Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:15290. [PMID: 37894977 PMCID: PMC10607318 DOI: 10.3390/ijms242015290] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 10/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Mutations in the KCNJ5 gene, encoding one of the major subunits of cardiac G-protein-gated inwardly rectifying K+ (GIRK) channels, have been recently linked to inherited forms of sinus node dysfunction. Here, the pathogenic mechanism of the W101C KCNJ5 mutation underlying sinus bradycardia in a patient-derived cellular disease model of sinus node dysfunction (SND) was investigated. A human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSCs) line of a mutation carrier was generated, and CRISPR/Cas9-based gene targeting was used to correct the familial mutation as a control line. Both cell lines were further differentiated into cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) that robustly expressed GIRK channels which underly the acetylcholine-regulated K+ current (IK,ACh). hiPSC-CMs with the W101C KCNJ5 mutation (hiPSCW101C-CM) had a constitutively active IK,ACh under baseline conditions; the application of carbachol was able to increase IK,ACh, further indicating that not all available cardiac GIRK channels were open at baseline. Additionally, hiPSCW101C-CM had a more negative maximal diastolic potential (MDP) and a slower pacing frequency confirming the bradycardic phenotype. Of note, the blockade of the constitutively active GIRK channel with XAF-1407 rescued the phenotype. These results provide further mechanistic insights and may pave the way for the treatment of SND patients with GIRK channel dysfunction.

Predicted Deleterious Variants in Cardiomyopathy Genes Prognosticate Mortality and Composite Outcomes in UK Biobank. JACC. HEART FAILURE 2023:S2213-1779(23)00492-4.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inherited cardiomyopathies present with broad variation of phenotype. Data are limited regarding genetic screening strategies and outcomes associated with predicted deleterious variants in cardiomyopathy-associated genes in the general population. OBJECTIVES The authors aimed to determine the risk of mortality and composite cardiomyopathy-related outcomes associated with predicted deleterious variants in cardiomyopathy-associated genes in the UK Biobank. METHODS Using whole exome sequencing data, variants in dilated, hypertrophic, and arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy-associated genes with at least moderate evidence of disease causality according to ClinGen Expert Panel curations were annotated using REVEL (≥0.65) and ANNOVAR (predicted loss-of-function) considering gene-disease mechanisms. Genotype-positive and genotype-negative groups were compared using time-to-event analyses for the primary (all-cause mortality) and secondary outcomes (diagnosis of cardiomyopathy; composite outcome of diagnosis of cardiomyopathy, heart failure, arrhythmia, stroke, and death). RESULTS Among 200,619 participants (age at recruitment 56.46 ± 8.1 years), 5,292 (2.64%) were found to host ≥1 predicted deleterious variants in cardiomyopathy-associated genes (CMP-G+). After adjusting for age and sex, CMP-G+ individuals had higher risk for all-cause mortality (HR: 1.13 [95% CI: 1.01-1.25]; P = 0.027), increased risk for being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy later in life (HR: 5.75 [95% CI: 4.58-7.23]; P < 0.0001), and elevated risk for composite outcome (HR: 1.29 [95% CI: 1.20-1.39]; P < 0.0001) than CMP-G- individuals. The higher risk for being diagnosed with cardiomyopathy and composite outcomes in the genotype-positive subjects remained consistent across all cardiomyopathy subgroups. CONCLUSIONS Adults with predicted deleterious variants in cardiomyopathy-associated genes exhibited a slightly higher risk of mortality and a significantly increased risk of developing cardiomyopathy, and cardiomyopathy-related composite outcomes, in comparison with genotype-negative controls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Different genes have been associated with idiopathic ventricular fibrillation (IVF); however, there are no studies correlating genotype with phenotype. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to define the genetic background of probands with IVF using large gene panel analysis and to correlate genetics with long-term clinical outcomes. METHODS All consecutive probands with a diagnosis of IVF were included in a multicenter retrospective study. All patients had: 1) IVF diagnosis throughout the follow-up; and 2) genetic analysis with a broad gene panel. All genetic variants were classified as pathogenic/likely pathogenic (P+), variants of unknown significance (VUS) or no variants (NO-V), following current guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics and the Association for Molecular Pathology. The primary endpoint was occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias (VA). RESULTS Forty-five consecutive patients were included. A variant was found in 12 patients, 3 P+ and 9 VUS carriers. After a mean follow-up time of 105.0 months, there were no deaths and 16 patients (35.6%) experienced a VA. NO-V patients had higher VA free survival during the follow-up, compared with both VUS (72.7% vs 55.6%, log-rank P < 0.001) and P+ (72.7% vs 0%, log-rank P = 0.013). At Cox analysis, P+ or VUS carrier status was a predictor of VA occurrence. CONCLUSIONS In probands with IVF, undergoing genetic analysis with a broad panel, the diagnostic yield for P+ is 6.7%. P+ or VUS carrier status is a predictor of VA occurrence.

Abstract
Background Despite recent advances in cardiology, sudden cardiac death remains to be a significant challenge, and the precise cause for a large proportion of sudden cardiac arrests remains unclear. Case summary A 48-year-old fit and healthy medical personnel with no previous medical illness suffered from ventricular fibrillation at his workplace and was successfully resuscitated. Although the basal electrocardiogram did not show a Brugada pattern, we identified mutations in the CACNB2 genes (Chr10: 18150879 and Chr10: 18539538 variants), which are pathogenic variants linked to the Brugada syndrome. A transthoracic echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance revealed mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with characteristics of Barlow's disease, as well as malignant MVP features such as the presence of bileaflet prolapse, mitral annular disjunction, and inferior and inferolateral left ventricular wall fibrosis. Discussion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case report on sudden cardiac arrest in a patient with malignant MVP with a CACNB2 gene mutation. This study highlights the merit for further research to establish standardized criteria for the diagnosis of malignant MVP, for the primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. Cardiac MR should also be part of the diagnostic evaluation of MVP to allow for the early detection of arrhythmogenic features, especially left ventricular fibrosis. We also suggest that the utility of genetic testing should be complementary to the current diagnostic tools for unexplained cardiac arrest and patients with MVP. This would help to better understand the genetic basis between these two conditions for better risk stratification and early cardiac intervention.

The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Epidemiology and Prevention Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update with review of published literature through the year before writing. The 2023 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort in 2022 by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. The American Heart Association strives to further understand and help heal health problems inflicted by structural racism, a public health crisis that can significantly damage physical and mental health and perpetuate disparities in access to health care, education, income, housing, and several other factors vital to healthy lives. This year's edition includes additional COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) publications, as well as data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population, with an enhanced focus on health equity across several key domains. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
Inherited Arrhythmia Syndromes (IAS) including long QT and Brugada Syndrome, are characterized by life-threatening arrhythmias in the absence of apparent structural heart disease and are caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding cardiac ion channels or associated proteins. Studies of large pedigrees of families affected by IAS have demonstrated incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity. Biological sex is one of several factors that have been recognized to modulate disease severity in IAS. There is a growing body of evidence linking sex hormones to the susceptibility to arrhythmias, yet, many sex-specific disease aspects remain underrecognized as female sex and women with IAS are underinvestigated and findings from male-predominant cohorts are often generalized to both sexes with minimal to no consideration of relevant sex-associated differences in prevalence, disease manifestations and outcome. In this review, we highlight current knowledge of sex-related biological differences in normal cardiac electrophysiology and sex-associated factors that influence IAS phenotypes.

Abstract
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) can affect all age groups, including young persons. While less common in the age < 35 population, the occurrence of SCD in the young raises concern, with multiple possible etiologies and often unanswered questions. While coronary artery disease is the leading cause in those > 35 years of age, the younger population faces a different subset of pathologies associated with SCD, including arrhythmias and cardiomyopathies. The tragic nature of SCD in the young entails that we explore and implement available screening methods for this population, and perform the necessary investigations such as electrocardiography (ECG) and echocardiography. In this review, we not only explore the vast etiology associated with SCD in those age < 35, but emphasize evaluation methods, who is at risk, and delve into screening of SCD in potential victims and their family members, in an attempt to prevent this traumatic event. Future research must work towards establishing preventative measures in order to reduce SCD, particularly unexplained SCD in the young.

LIFE (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:life12081104. [PMID: 35892906 PMCID: PMC9330865 DOI: 10.3390/life12081104] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/07/2022] [Revised: 07/12/2022] [Accepted: 07/19/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare inherited cardiac ion channelopathy. The present study aims to examine the clinical characteristics, genetic basis, and arrhythmic outcomes of CPVT patients from China to elucidate the difference between CPVT patients in Asia and Western countries. METHODS PubMed and Embase were systematically searched for case reports or series reporting on CPVT patients from China until 19 February 2022 using the keyword: "Catecholaminergic Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia" or "CPVT", with the location limited to: "China" or "Hong Kong" or "Macau" in Embase, with no language or publication-type restriction. Articles that did not state a definite diagnosis of CPVT and articles with duplicate cases found in larger cohorts were excluded. All the included publications in this review were critically appraised based on the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist. Clinical characteristics, genetic findings, and the primary outcome of spontaneous ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation (VT/VF) were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 58 unique cases from 15 studies (median presentation age: 8 (5.0-11.8) years old) were included. All patients, except one, presented at or before 19 years of age. There were 56 patients (96.6%) who were initially symptomatic. Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) were present in 44 out of 51 patients (86.3%) and VT in 52 out of 58 patients (89.7%). Genetic tests were performed on 54 patients (93.1%) with a yield of 87%. RyR2, CASQ2, TERCL, and SCN10A mutations were found in 35 (71.4%), 12 (24.5%), 1 (0.02%) patient, and 1 patient (0.02%), respectively. There were 54 patients who were treated with beta-blockers, 8 received flecainide, 5 received amiodarone, 2 received verapamil and 2 received propafenone. Sympathectomy (n = 10), implantable cardioverter-defibrillator implantation (n = 8) and ablation (n = 1) were performed. On follow-up, 13 patients developed VT/VF. CONCLUSION This was the first systematic review of CPVT patients from China. Most patients had symptoms on initial presentation, with syncope as the presenting complaint. RyR2 mutation accounts for more than half of the CPVT cases, followed by CASQ2, TERCL and SCN10A mutations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The American Heart Association, in conjunction with the National Institutes of Health, annually reports the most up-to-date statistics related to heart disease, stroke, and cardiovascular risk factors, including core health behaviors (smoking, physical activity, diet, and weight) and health factors (cholesterol, blood pressure, and glucose control) that contribute to cardiovascular health. The Statistical Update presents the latest data on a range of major clinical heart and circulatory disease conditions (including stroke, congenital heart disease, rhythm disorders, subclinical atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, heart failure, valvular disease, venous disease, and peripheral artery disease) and the associated outcomes (including quality of care, procedures, and economic costs). METHODS The American Heart Association, through its Statistics Committee, continuously monitors and evaluates sources of data on heart disease and stroke in the United States to provide the most current information available in the annual Statistical Update. The 2022 Statistical Update is the product of a full year's worth of effort by dedicated volunteer clinicians and scientists, committed government professionals, and American Heart Association staff members. This year's edition includes data on the monitoring and benefits of cardiovascular health in the population and an enhanced focus on social determinants of health, adverse pregnancy outcomes, vascular contributions to brain health, and the global burden of cardiovascular disease and healthy life expectancy. RESULTS Each of the chapters in the Statistical Update focuses on a different topic related to heart disease and stroke statistics. CONCLUSIONS The Statistical Update represents a critical resource for the lay public, policymakers, media professionals, clinicians, health care administrators, researchers, health advocates, and others seeking the best available data on these factors and conditions.

Abstract
Aims Genetic testing is recommended in specific inherited heart diseases but its role remains unclear and it is not currently recommended in unexplained cardiac arrest (UCA). We sought to assess the yield and clinical utility of genetic testing in UCA using whole-exome sequencing (WES). Methods and results Survivors of UCA requiring external defibrillation were included from the Cardiac Arrest Survivor with Preserved Ejection fraction Registry. Whole-exome sequencing was performed, followed by assessment of rare variants in previously reported cardiovascular disease genes. A total of 228 UCA survivors (mean age at arrest 39 ± 13 years) were included. The majority were males (66%) and of European ancestry (81%). Following advanced clinical testing at baseline, the likely aetiology of cardiac arrest was determined in 21/228 (9%) cases. Whole-exome sequencing identified a pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variant in 23/228 (10%) of UCA survivors overall, increasing the proportion of ‘explained’ cases from 9% only following phenotyping to 18% when combining phenotyping with WES. Notably, 13 (57%) of the 23 P/LP variants identified were located in genes associated with cardiomyopathy, in the absence of a diagnosis of cardiomyopathy at the time of arrest. Conclusions Genetic testing identifies a disease-causing variant in 10% of apparent UCA survivors. The majority of disease-causing variants was located in cardiomyopathy-associated genes, highlighting the arrhythmogenic potential of such variants in the absence of an overt cardiomyopathy diagnosis. The present study supports the use of genetic testing including assessment of arrhythmia and cardiomyopathy genes in survivors of UCA.

Abstract
A genetic risk of sudden cardiac arrest and sudden death due to an arrhythmic cause, known as sudden cardiac death (SCD), has become apparent from epidemiological studies in the general population and in patients with ischaemic heart disease. However, genetic susceptibility to sudden death is greatest in young people and is associated with uncommon, monogenic forms of heart disease. Despite comprehensive pathology and genetic evaluations, SCD remains unexplained in a proportion of young people and is termed sudden arrhythmic death syndrome, which poses challenges to the identification of relatives from affected families who might be at risk of SCD. In this Review, we assess the current understanding of the epidemiology and causes of SCD and evaluate both the monogenic and the polygenic contributions to the risk of SCD in the young and SCD associated with drug therapy. Finally, we analyse the potential clinical role of genomic testing in the prevention of SCD in the general population.

Abstract
This international multidisciplinary document intends to provide clinicians with evidence-based practical patient-centered recommendations for evaluating patients and decedents with (aborted) sudden cardiac arrest and their families. The document includes a framework for the investigation of the family allowing steps to be taken, should an inherited condition be found, to minimize further events in affected relatives. Integral to the process is counseling of the patients and families, not only because of the emotionally charged subject, but because finding (or not finding) the cause of the arrest may influence management of family members. The formation of multidisciplinary teams is essential to provide a complete service to the patients and their families, and the varied expertise of the writing committee was formulated to reflect this need. The document sections were divided up and drafted by the writing committee members according to their expertise. The recommendations represent the consensus opinion of the entire writing committee, graded by Class of Recommendation and Level of Evidence. The recommendations were opened for public comment and reviewed by the relevant scientific and clinical document committees of the Asia Pacific Heart Rhythm Society (APHRS) and the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS); the document underwent external review and endorsement by the partner and collaborating societies. While the recommendations are for optimal care, it is recognized that not all resources will be available to all clinicians. Nevertheless, this document articulates the evaluation that the clinician should aspire to provide for patients with sudden cardiac arrest, decedents with sudden unexplained death, and their families.

Abstract
A variety of arrhythmogenic cardiac diseases such as channelopathies and cardiomyopathies are caused by genetic alterations. In patients with these diseases, malignant arrhythmias or sudden cardiac death frequently manifest already during young adulthood. Early recognition, risk stratification and adequate therapy is therefore essential to avoid sudden cardiac death. This review summarizes the implications of genetic testing for diagnosis, risk stratification and therapy of patients with cardiac channelopathies (long-QT syndrome, short-QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia) and inherited cardiomyopathies (hypertrophic, dilatative or arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy).

Abstract
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD) can be attributed to cardiac, respiratory, metabolic, and toxicologic etiologies. Most cases of SCD are caused by coronary artery disease and approximately 40% of cardiac arrests are unexplained. Inherited arrythmias and cardiomyopathies are important contributors to SCA and SCD. Identifying an inherited condition after such an event not only has important ramifications for the individual, but also for relatives who may be at risk for the familial condition. This review will provide an overview of inherited cardiovascular disorders than can predispose to SCA/SCD, review the diagnostic evaluation for an individual and/or family after an SCA/SCD, and discuss the role of genetic testing.
