Abstract
Anthracyclines can cause cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD) that adversely affects prognosis. Despite guideline recommendations, only half of the patients undergo surveillance echocardiograms. An AI model detecting reduced left ventricular ejection fraction from 12-lead electrocardiograms (ECG) (AI-EF model) suggests ECG features reflect left ventricular pathophysiology. We hypothesized that AI could predict CTRCD from baseline ECG, leveraging the AI-EF model's insights, and developed the AI-CTRCD model using transfer learning on the AI-EF model. In 1011 anthracycline-treated patients, 8.7% experienced CTRCD. High AI-CTRCD scores indicated elevated CTRCD risk (hazard ratio (HR), 2.66; 95% CI 1.73-4.10; log-rank p < 0.001). This remained consistent after adjusting for risk factors (adjusted HR, 2.57; 95% CI 1.62-4.10; p < 0.001). AI-CTRCD score enhanced prediction beyond known factors (time-dependent AUC for 2 years: 0.78 with AI-CTRCD score vs. 0.74 without; p = 0.005). In conclusion, the AI model robustly stratified CTRCD risk from baseline ECG.

Abstract
AIMS Mutation of the PRDM16 gene causes human dilated and non-compaction cardiomyopathy. The PRDM16 protein is a transcriptional regulator that affects cardiac development via Tbx5 and Hand1, thus regulating myocardial structure. The biallelic inactivation of Prdm16 induces severe cardiac dysfunction with post-natal lethality and hypertrophy in mice. The early pathological events that occur upon Prdm16 inactivation have not been explored. METHODS AND RESULTS This study performed in-depth pathophysiological and molecular analyses of male and female Prdm16csp1/wt mice that carry systemic, monoallelic Prdm16 gene inactivation. We systematically assessed early molecular changes through transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. Kinetic modelling of cardiac metabolism was performed in silico with CARDIOKIN. Prdm16csp1/wt mice are viable up to 8 months, develop hypoplastic hearts, and diminished systolic performance that is more pronounced in female mice. Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue of both sexes showed reductions in metabolites associated with amino acid as well as glycerol metabolism, glycolysis, and the tricarboxylic acid cycle. Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue revealed diminished glutathione (GSH) and increased inosine monophosphate (IMP) levels indicating oxidative stress and a dysregulated energetics, respectively. An accumulation of triacylglycerides exclusively in male Prdm16csp1/wt hearts suggests a sex-specific metabolic adaptation. Metabolic modelling using CARDIOKIN identified a reduction in fatty acid utilization in males as well as lower glucose utilization in female Prdm16csp1/wt cardiac tissue. On the level of transcripts and protein expression, Prdm16csp1/wt hearts demonstrate an up-regulation of pyridine nucleotide-disulphide oxidoreductase domain 2 (Pyroxd2) and the transcriptional regulator pre-B-cell leukaemia transcription factor interacting protein 1 (Pbxip1). The strongest concordant transcriptional up-regulation was detected for Prdm16 itself, probably through an autoregulatory mechanism. CONCLUSIONS Monoallelic, global Prdm16 mutation diminishes cardiac performance in Prdm16csp1/wt mice. Metabolic alterations and transcriptional dysregulation in Prdm16csp1/wt affect cardiac tissue. Female Prdm16csp1/wt mice develop a more pronounced phenotype, indicating sexual dimorphism at this early pathological window. This study suggests that metabolic dysregulation is an early event in the PRDM16 associated cardiac pathology.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome is associated with loss-of-function SCN5A variants, yet these account for only ≈20% of cases. A recent genome-wide association study identified a novel locus within MAPRE2, which encodes EB2 (microtubule end-binding protein 2), implicating microtubule involvement in Brugada syndrome. METHODS A mapre2 knockout zebrafish model was generated using CRISPR/Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat-associated protein 9) and validated by Western blot. Larval hearts at 5 days post-fertilization were isolated for voltage mapping and immunocytochemistry. Adult fish hearts were used for ECG, patch clamping, and immunocytochemistry. Morpholinos were injected into embryos at 1-cell stage for knockdown experiments. A transgenic zebrafish line with cdh2 tandem fluorescent timer was used to study adherens junctions. Microtubule plus-end tracking and patch clamping were performed in human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (iPSC-CMs) with MAPRE2 knockdown and knockout, respectively. RESULTS Voltage mapping of mapre2 knockout hearts showed a decrease in ventricular maximum upstroke velocity of the action potential and conduction velocity, suggesting loss of cardiac voltage-gated sodium channel function. ECG showed QRS prolongation in adult knockout fish, and patch clamping showed decreased sodium current density in knockout ventricular myocytes and arrhythmias in knockout iPSC-CMs. Confocal imaging showed disorganized adherens junctions and mislocalization of mature Ncad (N-cadherin) with mapre2 loss of function, associated with a decrease of detyrosinated tubulin. MAPRE2 knockdown in iPSC-CMs led to an increase in microtubule growth velocity and distance, indicating changes in microtubule dynamics. Finally, knockdown of ttl encoding tubulin tyrosine ligase in mapre2 knockout larvae rescued tubulin detyrosination and ventricular maximum upstroke velocity of the action potential. CONCLUSIONS Genetic ablation of mapre2 led to a decrease in voltage-gated sodium channel function, a hallmark of Brugada syndrome, associated with disruption of adherens junctions, decrease of detyrosinated tubulin as a marker of microtubule stability, and changes in microtubule dynamics. Restoration of the detyrosinated tubulin fraction with ttl knockdown led to rescue of voltage-gated sodium channel-related functional parameters in mapre2 knockout hearts. Taken together, our study implicates microtubule dynamics in the modulation of ventricular conduction.

Abstract
Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have successfully linked genetic risk loci to various disorders, identifying underlying cellular biological mechanisms remains challenging due to the complex nature of common diseases. We established a framework using human peripheral blood cells, physical, chemical and pharmacological perturbations, and flow cytometry-based functional readouts to reveal latent cellular processes and performed GWAS based on these evoked traits in up to 2,600 individuals. We identified 119 genomic loci implicating 96 genes associated with these cellular responses and discovered associations between evoked blood phenotypes and subsets of common diseases. We found a population of pro-inflammatory anti-apoptotic neutrophils prevalent in individuals with specific subsets of cardiometabolic disease. Multigenic models based on this trait predicted the risk of developing chronic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes patients. By expanding the phenotypic space for human genetic studies, we could identify variants associated with large effect response differences, stratify patients and efficiently characterize the underlying biology.

Abstract
Cyanide represents a persistent threat for accidental or malicious misuse due to easy conversion into a toxic gas and access to large quantities through several industries. The high safety index of hydroxocobalamin is a cornerstone quality as a cyanide scavenger. Unfortunately, intravenous infusion of hydroxocobalamin limits the utility in a mass casualty setting. We previously reported platinum(II) [Pt(II)] complexes with trans-directing sulfur ligands as an efficacious alternative to hydroxocobalamin when delivered by a bolus intramuscular injection in mice and rabbits. Thus, to enable Pt(II) as an alternative to hydroxocobalamin, a high safety factor is needed. The objective is to maintain efficacy and mitigate the risk for nephrotoxicity. Platinum amino acid complexes with the ability to form five- or six-membered rings and possessing either carboxylates or carboxamides are evaluated in vitro for cyanide scavenging. In vivo efficacy was evaulated in the zebrafish and mice cyanide exposure models. In addition, Pt(II) complex toxicity and pharmacokinetics were evaluated in a cyanide naive Sprague-Dawley model. Doses for toxicity are escalated to 5x from the efficacious dose in mice using a body surface area adjustment. The results show the carboxamide ligands display a time and pH dependence on cyanide scavenging in vitro and efficacy in vivo. Additionally, exchanging the carboxylate for carboxamide showed reduced indications of renal injury. A pharmacokinetic analysis of the larger bidentate complexes displayed rapid absorption by intramuscular administration and having similar plasma exposure. These findings point to the importance of pH and ligand structures for methionine carboxamide complexes with Pt(II).

Abstract
Importance Valsartan has shown promise in attenuating cardiac remodeling in patients with early-stage sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Genetic testing can identify individuals at risk of HCM in a subclinical stage who could benefit from therapies that prevent disease progression. Objective To explore the potential for valsartan to modify disease development, and to characterize short-term phenotypic progression in subclinical HCM. Design, Setting, and Participants The multicenter, double-blind, placebo-controlled Valsartan for Attenuating Disease Evolution in Early Sarcomeric Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (VANISH) randomized clinical trial was conducted from April 2014 to July 2019 at 17 sites in 4 countries (Brazil, Canada, Denmark, and the US), with 2 years of follow-up. The prespecified exploratory VANISH cohort studied here included sarcomere variant carriers with subclinical HCM and early phenotypic manifestations (reduced E' velocity, electrocardiographic abnormalities, or an increased left ventricular [LV] wall thickness [LVWT] to cavity diameter ratio) but no LV hypertrophy (LVH). Data were analyzed between March and December 2022. Interventions Treatment with placebo or valsartan (80 mg/d for children weighing <35 kg, 160 mg/d for children weighing ≥35 kg, or 320 mg/d for adults aged ≥18 years). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was a composite z score incorporating changes in 9 parameters of cardiac remodeling (LV cavity volume, LVWT, and LV mass; left atrial [LA] volume; E' velocity and S' velocity; and serum troponin and N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide levels). Results This study included 34 participants, with a mean (SD) age of 16 (5) years (all were White). A total of 18 participants (8 female [44%] and 10 male [56%]) were randomized to valsartan and 16 (9 female [56%] and 7 male [44%]) were randomized to placebo. No statistically significant effects of valsartan on cardiac remodeling were detected (mean change in composite z score compared with placebo: -0.01 [95% CI, -0.29 to 0.26]; P = .92). Overall, 2-year phenotypic progression was modest, with only a mild increase in LA volume detected (increased by 3.5 mL/m2 [95% CI, 1.4-6.0 mL/m2]; P = .002). Nine participants (26%) had increased LVWT, including 6 (18%) who developed clinically overt HCM. Baseline LA volume index (LAVI; 35 vs 28 mL/m2; P = .01) and average interventricular septum thickness (8.5 vs 7.0 mm; P = .009) were higher in participants who developed HCM. Conclusions and Relevance In this exploratory cohort, valsartan was not proven to slow progression of subclinical HCM. Minimal changes in markers of cardiac remodeling were observed, although nearly one-fifth of patients developed clinically overt HCM. Transition to disease was associated with greater baseline interventricular septum thickness and LAVI. These findings highlight the importance of following sarcomere variant carriers longitudinally and the critical need to improve understanding of factors that drive disease penetrance and progression.

Abstract
Hox genes orchestrate the segmental specification of the muscular circulatory system in invertebrates but it has not proven straightforward to decipher segmental parallels in the vertebrate heart. Recently, patients with HOXB gene cluster deletion were found to exhibit abnormalities including atrioventricular canal defects. Using CRISPR, we established a mutant with the orthologous hoxbb cluster deletion in zebrafish. The mutant exhibited heart failure and atrioventricular regurgitation at 5 days. Analyzing the four genes in the hoxbb cluster, isolated deletion of hoxb1b-/- recapitulated the cardiac abnormalities, supporting hoxb1b as the causal gene. Both in situ and in vitro data indicated that hoxb1b regulates gata5 to inhibit hand2 expression and ultimately is required to pattern the vertebrate atrioventricular boundary. Together, these data reveal a role for segmental specification in vertebrate cardiac development and highlight the utility of CRISPR techniques for efficiently exploring the function of large structural genomic lesions.

Abstract
Background Atrial septal defect (ASD) increases the risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Despite the potential for risk mitigation through minimally invasive percutaneous closure, ASD remains underdiagnosed due to subtle symptoms and examination findings. To bridge this diagnostic gap, we propose a novel screening strategy aimed at early detection and enhanced diagnosis through the implementation of a convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify ASD from 12-lead electrocardiography (ECG). Methods ECGs were collected from patients with at least one recorded echocardiogram at 3 hospitals from 2 continents (Keio University Hospital from July 2011 to December 2020, Brigham and Women's Hospital from January 2015 to December 2020, and Dokkyo Medical University Saitama Medical Center from January 2010 and December 2021). ECGs from patients with a diagnosis of ASD were labeled as positive cases while the remainder were labeled as negative. ECGs after the closure of ASD were excluded. After randomly splitting the ECGs into 3 datasets (50% derivation, 20% validation, and 30% test) with no patient overlap, a CNN-based model was trained using the derivation datasets from 2 hospitals and was tested on held-out datasets along with an external validation on the 3rd hospital. All eligible ECGs were used for derivation and validation whereas the earliest ECG for each patient was used for the test and external validation. The discrimination of ASD was assessed by the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). Multiple subgroups were examined to identify any heterogeneity. Findings A total of 671,201 ECGs from 80,947 patients were collected from the 3 institutions. The AUROC for detecting ASD was 0.85-0.90 across the 3 hospitals. The subgroup analysis showed excellent performance across various characteristics Screening simulation using the model greatly increased sensitivity from 80.6% to 93.7% at specificity 33.6% when compared to using overt ECG abnormalities. Interpretation A CNN-based model using 12-lead ECG successfully identified the presence of ASD with excellent generalizability across institutions from 2 separate continents.

Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are essential for normal cellular processes and signaling events. Defining these interaction networks is therefore crucial for understanding complex cellular functions and interpretation of disease-associated gene variants. We need to build a comprehensive picture of the interactions, their affinities and interdependencies in the specific organ to decipher hitherto poorly understood signaling mechanisms through ion channels. Here we report the experimental identification of the ensemble of protein interactors for 13 types of ion channels in murine cardiac tissue. Of these, we validated the functional importance of ten interactors on cardiac electrophysiology through genetic knockouts in zebrafish, gene silencing in mice, super-resolution microscopy and patch clamp experiments. Furthermore, we establish a computational framework to reconstruct human cardiomyocyte ion channel networks from deep proteome mapping of human heart tissue and human heart single-cell gene expression data. Finally, we integrate the ion channel interactome with human population genetics data to identify proteins that influence the electrocardiogram (ECG). We demonstrate that the combined channel network is enriched for proteins influencing the ECG, with 44% of the network proteins significantly associated with an ECG phenotype. Altogether, we define interactomes of 13 major cardiac ion channels, contextualize their relevance to human electrophysiology and validate functional roles of ten interactors, including two regulators of the sodium current (epsin-2 and gelsolin). Overall, our data provide a roadmap for our understanding of the molecular machinery that regulates cardiac electrophysiology.

Abstract
A definitive, authoritative approach to evaluate the causes of unexpected, and ultimately unexplained, pediatric deaths remains elusive, relegating final conclusions to diagnoses of exclusion in the vast majority of cases. Research into unexplained pediatric deaths has focused primarily on sudden infant deaths (under 1 year of age) and led to the identification of several potential, albeit incompletely understood, contributory factors: nonspecific pathology findings, associations with sleep position and environment that may not be uniformly relevant, and the elucidation of a role for serotonin that is practically difficult to estimate in any individual case. Any assessment of progress in this field must also acknowledge the failure of current approaches to substantially decrease mortality rates in decades. Furthermore, potential commonalities with pediatric deaths across a broader age spectrum have not been widely considered. Recent epilepsy-related observations and genetic findings, identified post-mortem in both infants and children who died suddenly and unexpectedly, suggest a role for more intense and specific phenotyping efforts as well as an expanded role for genetic and genomic evaluation. We therefore present a new approach to reframe the phenotype in sudden unexplained deaths in the pediatric age range, collapsing many distinctions based on arbitrary factors (such as age) that have previously guided research in this area, and discuss its implications for the future of postmortem investigation.

Abstract
Maintenance of cardiomyocyte identity is vital for normal heart development and function. However, our understanding of cardiomyocyte plasticity remains incomplete. Here, we show that sustained expression of the zebrafish transcription factor Nr2f1a prevents the progressive acquisition of ventricular cardiomyocyte (VC) and pacemaker cardiomyocyte (PC) identities within distinct regions of the atrium. Transcriptomic analysis of flow-sorted atrial cardiomyocytes (ACs) from nr2f1a mutant zebrafish embryos showed increased VC marker gene expression and altered expression of core PC regulatory genes, including decreased expression of nkx2.5, a critical repressor of PC differentiation. At the arterial (outflow) pole of the atrium in nr2f1a mutants, cardiomyocytes resolve to VC identity within the expanded atrioventricular canal. However, at the venous (inflow) pole of the atrium, there is a progressive wave of AC transdifferentiation into PCs across the atrium toward the arterial pole. Restoring Nkx2.5 is sufficient to repress PC marker identity in nr2f1a mutant atria and analysis of chromatin accessibility identified an Nr2f1a-dependent nkx2.5 enhancer expressed in the atrial myocardium directly adjacent to PCs. CRISPR/Cas9-mediated deletion of the putative nkx2.5 enhancer leads to a loss of Nkx2.5-expressing ACs and expansion of a PC reporter, supporting that Nr2f1a limits PC differentiation within venous ACs via maintaining nkx2.5 expression. The Nr2f-dependent maintenance of AC identity within discrete atrial compartments may provide insights into the molecular etiology of concurrent structural congenital heart defects and associated arrhythmias.

Abstract
Sphingolipids are a diverse family of lipids with critical structural and signalling functions in the mammalian nervous system, where they are abundant in myelin membranes. Serine palmitoyltransferase, the enzyme that catalyses the rate-limiting reaction of sphingolipid synthesis, is composed of multiple subunits including an activating subunit, SPTSSA. Sphingolipids are both essential and cytotoxic and their synthesis must therefore be tightly regulated. Key to the homeostatic regulation are the ORMDL proteins that are bound to serine palmitoyltransferase and mediate feedback inhibition of enzymatic activity when sphingolipid levels become excessive. Exome sequencing identified potential disease-causing variants in SPTSSA in three children presenting with a complex form of hereditary spastic paraplegia. The effect of these variants on the catalytic activity and homeostatic regulation of serine palmitoyltransferase was investigated in human embryonic kidney cells, patient fibroblasts and Drosophila. Our results showed that two different pathogenic variants in SPTSSA caused a hereditary spastic paraplegia resulting in progressive motor disturbance with variable sensorineural hearing loss and language/cognitive dysfunction in three individuals. The variants in SPTSSA impaired the negative regulation of serine palmitoyltransferase by ORMDLs leading to excessive sphingolipid synthesis based on biochemical studies and in vivo studies in Drosophila. These findings support the pathogenicity of the SPTSSA variants and point to excessive sphingolipid synthesis due to impaired homeostatic regulation of serine palmitoyltransferase as responsible for defects in early brain development and function.

Abstract
WHAT IS THIS PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY ABOUT? This summary explains the results of a long-term extension study on the effects of a specific medicine. A long-term extension study allows people who have already completed a research study to continue taking treatment. Researchers can then look at how a treatment works over a long period of time. This extension study looked at the effects of a medicine called ARRY-371797 (also known as PF-07265803) in people with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM for short) caused by a faulty lamin A/C gene (also known as the LMNA gene). This condition is called LMNA-related DCM. In people with LMNA-related DCM, the heart muscle becomes thinner and weaker than normal. This can lead to heart failure, where the heart is unable to pump enough blood around the body. The extension study allowed people who had completed an earlier 48-week study to continue taking ARRY-371797 for another 96 weeks (around 22 months). WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF THE EXTENSION STUDY? 8 people joined the extension study and continued with the dose of ARRY-371797 that they had taken in the first study. This means that people could have taken ARRY-371797 continuously for up to 144 weeks (around 2 years and 9 months). Using the 6-minute walk test (6MWT for short), researchers regularly checked people taking ARRY-371797 to see how far they could walk. Throughout the extension study, people were able to walk further than they could before they started taking ARRY-371797. This suggests that people could maintain the improvements in their ability to do daily activities with long-term ARRY-371797 treatment. Researchers also looked at how severe people's heart failure was by using a test that measures levels of a biomarker called NT-proBNP. A biomarker is something found in the body that can be measured to indicate the extent of a disease. Throughout this study, the levels of NT-proBNP in people's blood was lower than before they started taking ARRY-371797. This suggests that they maintained stable heart function. Using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ for short), researchers asked people about their quality of life, and if they experienced any side effects. A side effect is something that people feel while taking a treatment. Researchers evaluate if a side effect is related to the treatment or not. Some improvement in KCCQ response during the study was seen, although results were varied. There were no serious side effects that were considered related to treatment with ARRY-371797. WHAT DO THE RESULTS OF THE EXTENSION STUDY MEAN? Researchers found that the improvements in functional capacity and heart function seen with ARRY-371797 treatment in the original study were maintained with long-term treatment. Larger studies are needed to determine if ARRY-371797 could be an effective treatment for people with LMNA-related DCM. One such study (called REALM-DCM) was started in 2018 but ended early, as it was unlikely to show a clear treatment benefit of ARRY-371797. Phase 2 long-term extension study (NCT02351856) Phase 2 study (NCT02057341) Phase 3 REALM-DCM study (NCT03439514).

Abstract
Autophagy regulates the degradation of damaged organelles and protein aggregates, and is critical for neuronal development, homeostasis, and maintenance, yet few neurodevelopmental disorders have been associated with pathogenic variants in genes encoding autophagy-related proteins. We report three individuals from two unrelated families with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by speech and motor impairment, and similar facial characteristics. Rare, conserved, bi-allelic variants were identified in ATG4D, encoding one of four ATG4 cysteine proteases important for autophagosome biogenesis, a hallmark of autophagy. Autophagosome biogenesis and induction of autophagy were intact in cells from affected individuals. However, studies evaluating the predominant substrate of ATG4D, GABARAPL1, demonstrated that three of the four ATG4D patient variants functionally impair ATG4D activity. GABARAPL1 is cleaved or "primed" by ATG4D and an in vitro GABARAPL1 priming assay revealed decreased priming activity for three of the four ATG4D variants. Furthermore, a rescue experiment performed in an ATG4 tetra knockout cell line, in which all four ATG4 isoforms were knocked out by gene editing, showed decreased GABARAPL1 priming activity for the two ATG4D missense variants located in the cysteine protease domain required for priming, suggesting that these variants impair the function of ATG4D. The clinical, bioinformatic, and functional data suggest that bi-allelic loss-of-function variants in ATG4D contribute to the pathogenesis of this syndromic neurodevelopmental disorder.

Abstract
WHAT IS THIS PLAIN LANGUAGE SUMMARY ABOUT? This plain language summary describes the results of a study looking at the effects of a medicine called ARRY-371797 (also known as PF-07265803) in people with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM for short) caused by a faulty LMNA gene. This condition is called LMNA-related DCM. DCM happens when the heart becomes bigger and weaker than normal, impacting functional capacity and leading to symptoms of heart failure. This means the heart is not able to pump blood around the body as easily, and people are unable to do as much in their daily lives (like getting dressed and going shopping). People may inherit a faulty LMNA gene from one of their parents, or a faulty LMNA gene may develop when mistakes happen during cell growth and replication. ARRY-371797 targets a specific mechanism in the body that can lead to heart problems in people with a faulty LMNA gene. As ARRY-371797 is not currently approved for use outside of clinical trials, it doesn't currently have an easily recognizable trade name. WHAT WERE THE RESULTS? 12 American people (average age 50 years) with LMNA-related DCM took part in the study and received 400 mg or 100 mg of ARRY-371797 twice daily for 48 weeks. People knew which dose of ARRY-371797 they were taking. People were checked after 4, 12, 24, 36 and 48 weeks of taking ARRY-371797 to see how far they could walk in the 6-minute walk test (6MWT for short). The level of NT-proBNP in their blood was also measured. NT-proBNP is a biomarker used to measure the severity of heart failure. A biomarker is something found in the body that can be measured to indicate the extent of a disease. -After taking ARRY-371797 for 12 weeks, people were able to walk further in the 6MWT and had lower levels of NT-proBNP in their blood. This suggests improvement in functional capacity (exercise tolerance) and heart function. Researchers also asked people about their quality of life using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ for short), and looked for any side effects. -Researchers saw some improvement in KCCQ scores. -Researchers saw no major side effects that they considered to be related to ARRY-371797 treatment. A side effect is something that people feel was caused by a medicine or treatment. Overall, this study showed that people with LMNA-related DCM who took ARRY-371797 had improved functional capacity (exercise tolerance), improved heart function, and improved quality of life. Phase 2 study (NCT02057341) Phase 2 long-term extension study (NCT02351856) Phase 3 REALM-DCM study (NCT03439514).

Abstract
Pharmacology and toxicology are part of a much broader effort to understand the relationship between chemistry and biology. While biomedicine has necessarily focused on specific cases, typically of direct human relevance, there are real advantages in pursuing more systematic approaches to characterizing how health and disease are influenced by small molecules and other interventions. In this context, the zebrafish is now established as the representative screenable vertebrate and, through ongoing advances in the available scale of genome editing and automated phenotyping, is beginning to address systems-level solutions to some biomedical problems. The addition of broader efforts to integrate information content across preclinical model organisms and the incorporation of rigorous analytics, including closed-loop deep learning, will facilitate efforts to create systems pharmacology and toxicology with the ability to continuously optimize chemical biological interactions around societal needs. In this review, we outline progress toward this goal.

Abstract
The "diagnostic odyssey" describes the process those with undiagnosed conditions undergo to identify a diagnosis. Throughout this process, families of children with undiagnosed conditions have multiple opportunities to decide whether to continue or stop their search for a diagnosis and accept the lack of a diagnostic label. Previous studies identified factors motivating a family to begin searching, but there is limited information about the decision-making process in a prolonged search and how the affected child impacts a family's decision. This study aimed to understand how families of children with undiagnosed diseases decide whether to continue to pursue a diagnosis after standard clinical testing has failed. Parents who applied to the Undiagnosed Disease Network (UDN) at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) were recruited to participate in semi-structured interviews. The 2015 Supportive Care Needs model by Pelenstov, which defines critical needs in families with rare/undiagnosed diseases, provided a framework for interview guide development and transcript analysis (Pelentsov et al in Disabil Health J 8(4):475-491, 2015. https://doi.org/10.1016/J.DHJO.2015.03.009 ). A deductive, iterative coding approach was used to identify common unifying themes. Fourteen parents from 13 families were interviewed. The average child's age was 11 years (range 3-18) and an average 63% of their life had been spent searching for a diagnosis. Our analysis found that alignment or misalignment of parent and child needs impact the trajectory of the diagnostic search. When needs and desires align, reevaluation of a decision to pursue a diagnosis is limited. However, when there is conflict between parent and child desires, there is reevaluation, and often a pause, in the search. This tension is exacerbated when children are adolescents and attempting to balance their dependence on parents for medical care with a natural desire for independence. Our results provide novel insights into the roles of adolescents in the diagnostic odyssey. The tension between desired and realistic developmental outcomes for parents and adolescents impacts if, and how, the search for a diagnosis progresses.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Lamin A/C gene (LMNA)-related dilated cardiomyopathy is a serious and life-threatening condition with a high unmet medical need. This phase 2 study assessed the effects of the oral selective p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor ARRY-371797 on functional capacity and cardiac function in patients with LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy. METHODS Patients with LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy in New York Heart Association class II-IIIA, on background heart failure treatment, received ARRY-371797 100 or 400 mg twice daily for 48 weeks. The primary end point was change from baseline in the 6-minute walk test distance at 12 weeks. Secondary end points included changes over time in 6-minute walk test distance, NT-proBNP (N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide) concentration, left ventricular ejection fraction, and quality-of-life scores on the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire. Data from the 2 dose groups were combined. RESULTS Twelve patients were enrolled; median (minimum, maximum) 6-minute walk test distance at baseline was 314 (246, 412) m. At week 12, the mean (80% CI) increase from baseline in 6-minute walk test distance was 69 (39, 100) m (median, 47 m). Median NT-proBNP concentration declined from 1409 pg/mL at baseline to 848 pg/mL at week 12. Mean left ventricular ejection fraction was stable at week 12. There was a trend toward improvement in Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire Overall and Clinical Summary scores at week 12. No clinically significant drug-related safety concerns were identified. CONCLUSIONS ARRY-371797 was well tolerated and resulted in potential increases in functional capacity and lower concentrations of cardiac biomarker NT-proBNP in patients with LMNA-related dilated cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
Aim Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) carries an increased risk for overt heart failure and mortality, yet treatable to mitigate disease progression. An artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) model demonstrated promise in LVSD screening, but the performance dropped unexpectedly in external validation. We thus sought to train de novo models for LVSD detection and investigated their performance across multiple institutions and across a broader set of patient strata. Methods and results ECGs taken within 14 days of an echocardiogram were obtained from four academic hospitals (three in the United States and one in Japan). Four AI models were trained to detect patients with ejection fraction (EF) <40% using ECGs from each of the four institutions. All the models were then evaluated on the held-out test data set from the same institution and data from the three external institutions. Subgroup analyses stratified by patient characteristics and common ECG abnormalities were performed. A total of 221 846 ECGs were identified from the 4 institutions. While the Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH)-trained and Keio-trained models yielded similar accuracy on their internal test data [area under the receiver operating curve (AUROC) 0.913 and 0.914, respectively], external validity was worse for the Keio-trained model (AUROC: 0.905-0.915 for BWH trained and 0.849-0.877 for Keio-trained model). Although ECG abnormalities including atrial fibrillation, left bundle branch block, and paced rhythm-reduced detection, the models performed robustly across patient characteristics and other ECG features. Conclusion While using the same model architecture, different data sets produced models with different performances for detecting low-EF highlighting the importance of external validation and extensive stratification analysis.

Abstract
The development of rapidly acting cyanide countermeasures using intramuscular injection (IM) represents an unmet medical need to mitigate toxicant exposures in mass casualty settings. Previous work established that cisplatin and other platinum(II) or platinum(IV)-based agents effectively mitigate cyanide toxicity in zebrafish. Cyanide's in vivo reaction with platinum-containing materials was proposed to reduce the risk of acute toxicities. However, cyanide antidote activity depended on a formulation of platinum-chloride salts with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) followed by dilution in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). A working hypothesis to explain the DMSO requirement is that the formation of platinum-sulfoxide complexes activates the cyanide scavenging properties of platinum. Preparations of isolated NaPtCl5-DMSO and Na (NH3)2PtCl-DMSO complexes in the absence of excess DMSO provided agents with enhanced reactivity toward cyanide in vitro and fully recapitulated in vivo cyanide rescue in zebrafish and mouse models. The enhancement of the cyanide scavenging effects of the DMSO ligand could be attributed to the activation of platinum(IV) and (II) with a sulfur ligand. Unfortunately, the efficacy of DMSO complexes was not robust when administered IM. Alternative Pt(II) materials containing sulfide and amine ligands in bidentate complexes show enhanced reactivity toward cyanide addition. The cyanide addition products yielded tetracyanoplatinate(II), translating to a stoichiometry of 1:4 Pt to each cyanide scavenger. These new agents demonstrate a robust and enhanced potency over the DMSO-containing complexes using IM administration in mouse and rabbit models of cyanide toxicity. Using the zebrafish model with these Pt(II) complexes, no acute cardiotoxicity was detected, and dose levels required to reach lethality exceeded 100 times the effective dose. Data are presented to support a general chemical design approach that can expand a new lead candidate series for developing next-generation cyanide countermeasures.

Abstract
Cyanide-a fast-acting poison-is easy to obtain given its widespread use in manufacturing industries. It is a high-threat chemical agent that poses a risk of occupational exposure in addition to being a terrorist agent. FDA-approved cyanide antidotes must be given intravenously, which is not practical in a mass casualty setting due to the time and skill required to obtain intravenous access. Glyoxylate is an endogenous metabolite that binds cyanide and reverses cyanide-induced redox imbalances independent of chelation. Efficacy and biochemical mechanistic studies in an FDA-approved preclinical animal model have not been reported. Therefore, in a swine model of cyanide poisoning, we evaluated the efficacy of intramuscular glyoxylate on clinical, metabolic, and biochemical endpoints. Animals were instrumented for continuous hemodynamic monitoring and infused with potassium cyanide. Following cyanide-induced apnea, saline control or glyoxylate was administered intramuscularly. Throughout the study, serial blood samples were collected for pharmacokinetic, metabolite, and biochemical studies, in addition, vital signs, hemodynamic parameters, and laboratory values were measured. Survival in glyoxylate-treated animals was 83% compared with 12% in saline-treated control animals (p < .01). Glyoxylate treatment improved physiological parameters including pulse oximetry, arterial oxygenation, respiration, and pH. In addition, levels of citric acid cycle metabolites returned to baseline levels by the end of the study. Moreover, glyoxylate exerted distinct effects on redox balance as compared with a cyanide-chelating countermeasure. In our preclinical swine model of lethal cyanide poisoning, intramuscular administration of the endogenous metabolite glyoxylate improved survival and clinical outcomes, and ameliorated the biochemical effects of cyanide.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
While effective as chemotherapeutics, anthracyclines can cause cancer therapy-related cardiac dysfunction (CTRCD), which adversely affects the prognosis of patients with malignancies1–5. Despite guideline recommendations6–9, repeated echocardiograms are rarely performed10 with delayed diagnosis of CTRCD leading to unrecoverable cardiac dysfunction11. Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) was shown to be capable of detecting reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) solely from electrocardiogram (ECG)12. Furthermore, this model was predictive of a future decrease in LVEF. Therefore, we hypothesized that an AI model detecting reduced LVEF (AI-EF model) could predict CTRCD from ECGs.
Purpose
To assess whether the AI-EF model could detect patients at a high risk of CTRCD by analyzing ECGs taken immediately prior to the initiation of cardiotoxic chemotherapy.
Methods
Among patients who received chemotherapy with a regimen including anthracyclines in two institutions between June 1st, 2015 and October 1st, 2020, those who underwent both an ECG and echocardiogram ≤90 days prior to initial treatment were selected. The ECGs were analyzed by the AI-EF model and patients were divided into two groups according to the scores from the model. CTRCD was defined as LVEF <53% and ≥10% decrease in LVEF from the baseline at any time after the start of chemotherapy13. The cumulative incidence of CTRCD was compared for the two groups using Kaplan-Meier curves, log-rank test, a univariate Cox proportional hazard model, and a multivariable Cox proportional hazard model adjusting for known risk factors for CTRCD. Finally, a prediction model for CTRCD using readily available clinical variables with the AI-EF score was compared with the model using the same variables without the AI-EF score.
Results
1,158 patients were included in this study. 99 of them developed CTRCD during follow-up. The AI-EF model displayed excellent risk stratification of developing CTRCD: while 7.1% in the low AI-EF score group developed CTRCD, 12.9% of the patients in the high AI-EF score group developed CTRCD (hazard ratio (HR), 2.14; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.43–3.19; log-rank p<0.001; Figure 1). This finding was robust across subgroups such as cancer types, the initial dose of anthracycline and baseline LVEF, and consistent after adjusting for multiple risk factors (adjusted HR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.37–3.22; p<0.001; Figure 2). Furthermore, the addition of the AI-EF score significantly improved the accuracy of predicting CTRCD compared to clinical features alone (time-dependent area under the received operating curve (AUROC) for 2 years, 77.1; 95% CI, 71.8–82.3 for the model with AI-EF score and AUROC 73.9; 95% CI, 69.0–80.1 for the model without AI-EF score; p=0.02).
Conclusion
The AI-EF model, by utilizing baseline ECG, could stratify patients according to the risk of CTRCD and robustly augmented CTRCD prediction.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Novel targeted treatments increase the need for prompt hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) detection. However, its low prevalence (0.5%) and resemblance to common diseases present challenges that may benefit from automated machine learning-based approaches. We aimed to develop machine learning models to detect HCM and to differentiate it from other cardiac conditions using ECGs and echocardiograms, with robust generalizability across multiple cohorts. METHODS Single-institution HCM ECG models were trained and validated on external data. Multi-institution models for ECG and echocardiogram were trained on data from 3 academic medical centers in the United States and Japan using a federated learning approach, which enables training on distributed data without data sharing. Models were validated on held-out test sets for each institution and from a fourth academic medical center and were further evaluated for discrimination of HCM from aortic stenosis, hypertension, and cardiac amyloidosis. Last, automated detection was compared with manual interpretation by 3 cardiologists on a data set with a realistic HCM prevalence. RESULTS We identified 74 376 ECGs for 56 129 patients and 8392 echocardiograms for 6825 patients at the 4 academic medical centers. Although ECG models trained on data from each institution displayed excellent discrimination of HCM on internal test data (C statistics, 0.88-0.93), the generalizability was limited, most notably for a model trained in Japan and tested in the United States (C statistic, 0.79-0.82). When trained in a federated manner, discrimination of HCM was excellent across all institutions (C statistics, 0.90-0.96 and 0.90-0.96 for ECG and echocardiogram model, respectively), including for phenotypic subgroups. The models further discriminated HCM from hypertension, aortic stenosis, and cardiac amyloidosis (C statistics, 0.84, 0.83, and 0.88, respectively, for ECG and 0.93, 0.94, 0.85, respectively, for echocardiogram). Analysis of electrocardiography-echocardiography paired data from 11 823 patients from an external institution indicated a higher sensitivity of automated HCM detection at a given positive predictive value compared with cardiologists (0.98 versus 0.81 at a positive predictive value of 0.01 for ECG and 0.78 versus 0.59 at a positive predictive value of 0.24 for echocardiogram). CONCLUSIONS Federated learning improved the generalizability of models that use ECGs and echocardiograms to detect and differentiate HCM from other causes of hypertrophy compared with training within a single institution.

Abstract
Background:
Hypertension (HTN) in black and brown communities remains under-diagnosed and poorly controlled. Obstacles include access, lack of trust, social determinants of health (SDOH) and insufficient licensed providers. We hypothesized that a multi-faceted solution, combining screening, identification and support to address SDOH, and a remote software-driven HTN management program that shifts work to care navigators would be effective in controlling HTN.
Methods:
We launched a 500-person pilot in Detroit, MI, in March 2022. Community Health Workers (CHW) screened for patients with HTN in the community and surveyed them for SDOH. Patients received a cellular-enabled blood pressure (BP) cuff. Medications were initiated, titrated and side effects monitored according to a software-driven algorithm implementing latest HTN guidelines. Patients were contacted by a care navigator or community health worker using a combination of phone, text message, and email. Medication and testing were ordered by a licensed provider. Program success was evaluated based on proportion of patients who reached BP targets and patient satisfaction surveys.
Results:
During the initial deployment, 135 patients were screened and 86 (64%) were found to have Stage 1 HTN or greater. A total of 48 patients consented to join the program and 25 received a confirmatory BP measurement and cellular BP device. The average age of enrolled patients was 58±11 years with 52% females (N = 13), with 100% identified as Black. The median BP was 149/91mmHg, (IQR 144-159/87-98 mmHg). HTN severity on enrollment was 4% Stage 1, 59% Stage 2, and 37% Stage 3. Sixty-five % of patients were already taking one or more anti-HTN agents. A mean of 0.8 dose changes were made per patient per week. Results of the initial 250 managed patients will be presented including the percentage that reached BP goals, the number of medications required, time to reach goal, as well as impact of SDOH measures on BP control.
Conclusions:
Screening directly in an urban community resulted in a higher than expected rate of hypertension and included a high rate of stage 3 disease. A community-centered remote software-driven HTN program was feasible to implement.

Abstract
Model organism (MO) research provides a basic understanding of biology and disease due to the evolutionary conservation of the molecular and cellular language of life. MOs have been used to identify and understand the function of orthologous genes, proteins, cells and tissues involved in biological processes, to develop and evaluate techniques and methods, and to perform whole-organism-based chemical screens to test drug efficacy and toxicity. However, a growing richness of datasets and the rising power of computation raise an important question: How do we maximize the value of MOs? In-depth discussions in over 50 virtual presentations organized by the National Institutes of Health across more than 10 weeks yielded important suggestions for improving the rigor, validation, reproducibility and translatability of MO research. The effort clarified challenges and opportunities for developing and integrating tools and resources. Maintenance of critical existing infrastructure and the implementation of suggested improvements will play important roles in maintaining productivity and facilitating the validation of animal models of human biology and disease.

Abstract
The full range of cell functions is under-determined in most human diseases. The evidence that somatic cell competition and clonal imbalance play a role in non-neoplastic chronic disease reveal a need for a dedicated effort to explore single cell function if we are to understand the mechanisms by which cell population behaviors influence disease. It will be vital to document not only the prevalent pathologic behaviors but also those beneficial functions eliminated or suppressed by competition. An improved mechanistic understanding of the role of somatic cell biology will help to stratify chronic disease, define more precisely at an individual level the role of environmental factors and establish principles for prevention and potential intervention throughout the life course and across the trajectory from wellness to disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Researchers routinely evaluate novel biomarkers for incorporation into clinical risk models, weighing tradeoffs between cost, availability, and ease of deployment. For risk assessment in population health initiatives, ideal inputs would be those already available for most patients. We hypothesized that common hematologic markers (eg, hematocrit), available in an outpatient complete blood count without differential, would be useful to develop risk models for cardiovascular events. METHODS We developed Cox proportional hazards models for predicting heart attack, ischemic stroke, heart failure hospitalization, revascularization, and all-cause mortality. For predictors, we used 10 hematologic indices (eg, hematocrit) from routine laboratory measurements, collected March 2016 to May 2017 along with demographic data and diagnostic codes. As outcomes, we used neural network-based automated event adjudication of 1 028 294 discharge summaries. We trained models on 23 238 patients from one hospital in Boston and evaluated them on 29 671 patients from a second one. We assessed calibration using Brier score and discrimination using Harrell's concordance index. In addition, to determine the utility of high-dimensional interactions, we compared our proportional hazards models to random survival forest models. RESULTS Event rates in our cohort ranged from 0.0067 to 0.075 per person-year. Models using only hematology indices had concordance index ranging from 0.60 to 0.80 on an external validation set and showed the best discrimination when predicting heart failure (0.80 [95% CI, 0.79-0.82]) and all-cause mortality (0.78 [0.77-0.80]). Compared with models trained only on demographic data and diagnostic codes, models that also used hematology indices had better discrimination and calibration. The concordance index of the resulting models ranged from 0.75 to 0.85 and the improvement in concordance index ranged up to 0.072. Random survival forests had minimal improvement over proportional hazards models. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that low-cost, ubiquitous inputs, if biologically informative, can provide population-level readouts of risk.

Abstract
Requirements for vesicle fusion within the heart remain poorly understood, despite the multitude of processes that necessitate proper intracellular trafficking within cardiomyocytes. Here, we show that Syntaxin 4 (STX4), a target-Soluble N-ethylmaleimide sensitive factor attachment receptor (t-SNARE) protein, is required for normal vertebrate cardiac conduction and vesicular transport. Two patients were identified with damaging variants in STX4. A patient with a homozygous R240W missense variant displayed biventricular dilated cardiomyopathy, ectopy, and runs of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia, sensorineural hearing loss, global developmental delay, and hypotonia, while a second patient displayed severe pleiotropic abnormalities and perinatal lethality. CRISPR/Cas9-generated stx4 mutant zebrafish exhibited defects reminiscent of these patients' clinical presentations, including linearized hearts, bradycardia, otic vesicle dysgenesis, neuronal atrophy, and touch insensitivity by 3 days post fertilization. Imaging of Vamp2+ vesicles within stx4 mutant zebrafish hearts showed reduced docking to the cardiomyocyte sarcolemma. Optical mapping of the embryonic hearts coupled with pharmacological modulation of Ca2+ handling together support that zebrafish stx4 mutants have a reduction in L-type Ca2+ channel modulation. Transgenic overexpression of zebrafish Stx4R241W, analogous to the first patient's STX4R240W variant, indicated that the variant is hypomorphic. Thus, these data show an in vivo requirement for SNAREs in regulating normal embryonic cardiac function and that variants in STX4 are associated with pleiotropic human disease, including cardiomyopathy.

Abstract
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 NaV1.5, 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 NaV1.5 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implementation of guideline-directed cholesterol management remains low despite definitive evidence establishing such measures reduce cardiovascular (CV) events, especially in high atherosclerotic CV disease (ASCVD) risk patients. Modern electronic resources now exist that may help improve health care delivery. While electronic medical records (EMR) allow for population health screening, the potential for coupling EMR screening to remotely delivered algorithmic population-based management has been less studied as a way of overcoming barriers to optimal cholesterol management. METHODS In an academically affiliated healthcare system, using EMR screening, we sought to identify 1,000 high ASCVD risk patients not meeting guideline-directed low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) goals within specific system-affiliated primary care practices. Contacted patients received cholesterol education and were offered a remote, guideline-directed, algorithmic cholesterol management program executed by trained but non-licensed "navigators" under professional supervision. Navigators used telephone, proprietary software and internet resources to facilitate algorithm-driven, guideline-based medication initiation/titration, and laboratory testing until patients achieved LDL-C goals or exited the program. As a clinical effectiveness program for cholesterol guideline implementation, comparison was made to those contacted patients who declined program-based medication management, and received education only, along with their usual care. RESULTS 1021 patients falling into guideline-defined high ASCVD risk groups warranting statin therapy (ASCVD, type 2 diabetes, LDL ≥ 190 mg/dL, calculated 10-year ASCVD risk ≥7.5%) and not achieving guideline-defined target LDL-C levels and/or therapy were identified and contacted. Among the 698 such patients who opted for program medication management, significant LDL-C reductions occurred in the total cohort (mean -65.4 mg/dL, 45% decrease), and each high ASCVD risk subgroup: ASCVD (-57.2 mg/dL, -48.0%); diabetes mellitus (-53.1 mg/dL, -40.0%); severe hypercholesterolemia (-76.3 mg/dL, -45.7%); elevated ASCVD 10-year risk (-62.8 mg/dL, -41.1%) (P<0.001 for all), without any significant complications. Among 20% of participants with reported statin intolerance, average LDL-C decreased from baseline 143 mg/dL to 85 mg/dL using mainly statins and ezetimibe, with limited PCSK9 inhibitor use. In comparison, eligible high ASCVD risk patients who were contacted but opted for education only, a 17% LDL-C decrease occurred over a similar timeframe, with 80% remaining with an LDL-C over 100 mg/dL. CONCLUSIONS A remote, algorithm-driven, navigator-executed cholesterol management program successfully identified high ASCVD risk undertreated patients using EMR screening and was associated with significantly improved guideline-directed LDL-C control, supporting this approach as a novel strategy for improving health care access and delivery.

Abstract
Background Objective markers of cardiac function are limited in the outpatient setting and may be beneficial for monitoring patients with chronic cardiac conditions. We assess the accuracy of a scale, with the ability to capture ballistocardiography, electrocardiography, and impedance plethysmography signals from a patient's feet while standing on the scale, in measuring stroke volume and cardiac output compared with the gold-standard direct Fick method. Methods and Results Thirty-two patients with unexplained dyspnea undergoing level 3 invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test at a tertiary medical center were included in the final analysis. We obtained scale and direct Fick measurements of stroke volume and cardiac output before and immediately after invasive cardiopulmonary exercise test. Stroke volume and cardiac output from a cardiac scale and the direct Fick method correlated with r=0.81 and r=0.85, respectively (P<0.001 each). The mean absolute error of the scale estimated stroke volume was -1.58 mL, with a 95% limits of agreement of -21.97 to 18.81 mL. The mean error for the scale estimated cardiac output was -0.31 L/min, with a 95% limits of agreement of -2.62 to 2.00 L/min. The changes in stroke volume and cardiac output before and after exercise were 78.9% and 96.7% concordant, respectively, between the 2 measuring methods. Conclusions In a proof-of-concept study, this novel scale with cardiac monitoring abilities may allow for noninvasive, longitudinal measures of cardiac function. Using the widely accepted form factor of a bathroom scale, this method of monitoring can be easily integrated into a patient's lifestyle.

Abstract
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often caused by pathogenic variants in sarcomeric genes and characterized by left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy, myocardial fibrosis and increased risk of heart failure and arrhythmias. There are no existing therapies to modify disease progression. In this study, we conducted a multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled phase 2 clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of the angiotensin II receptor blocker valsartan in attenuating disease evolution in early HCM. In total, 178 participants with early-stage sarcomeric HCM were randomized (1:1) to receive valsartan (320 mg daily in adults; 80-160 mg daily in children) or placebo for 2 years ( NCT01912534 ). Standardized changes from baseline to year 2 in LV wall thickness, mass and volumes; left atrial volume; tissue Doppler diastolic and systolic velocities; and serum levels of high-sensitivity troponin T and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic protein were integrated into a single composite z-score as the primary outcome. Valsartan (n = 88) improved cardiac structure and function compared to placebo (n = 90), as reflected by an increase in the composite z-score (between-group difference +0.231, 95% confidence interval (+0.098, +0.364); P = 0.001), which met the primary endpoint of the study. Treatment was well-tolerated. These results indicate a key opportunity to attenuate disease progression in early-stage sarcomeric HCM with an accessible and safe medication.

Abstract
While we continue to wrestle with the immense challenge of implementing equitable access to established evidence-based treatments, substantial gaps remain in our pharmacotherapy armament for common forms of cardiovascular disease including coronary and peripheral arterial disease, heart failure, hypertension, and arrhythmia. We need to continue to invest in the development of new approaches for the discovery, rigorous assessment, and implementation of new therapies. Currently, the time and cost to progress from lead compound/product identification to the clinic, and the success rate in getting there reduces the incentive for industry to invest, despite the enormous burden of disease and potential size of market. There are tremendous opportunities with improved phenotyping of patients currently batched together in syndromic "buckets." Use of advanced imaging and molecular markers may allow stratification of patients in a manner more aligned to biological mechanisms that can, in turn, be targeted by specific approaches developed using high-throughput molecular technologies. Unbiased "omic" approaches enhance the possibility of discovering completely new mechanisms in such groups. Furthermore, advances in drug discovery platforms, and models to study efficacy and toxicity more relevant to the human disease, are valuable. Re-imagining the relationships among discovery, translation, evaluation, and implementation will help reverse the trend away from investment in the cardiovascular space, establishing innovative platforms and approaches across the full spectrum of therapeutic development.

Abstract
Patients with rare conditions such as cardiac amyloidosis (CA) are difficult to identify, given the similarity of disease manifestations to more prevalent disorders. The deployment of approved therapies for CA has been limited by delayed diagnosis of this disease. Artificial intelligence (AI) could enable detection of rare diseases. Here we present a pipeline for CA detection using AI models with electrocardiograms (ECG) or echocardiograms as inputs. These models, trained and validated on 3 and 5 academic medical centers (AMC) respectively, detect CA with C-statistics of 0.85-0.91 for ECG and 0.89-1.00 for echocardiography. Simulating deployment on 2 AMCs indicated a positive predictive value (PPV) for the ECG model of 3-4% at 52-71% recall. Pre-screening with ECG enhance the echocardiography model performance at 67% recall from PPV of 33% to PPV of 74-77%. In conclusion, we developed an automated strategy to augment CA detection, which should be generalizable to other rare cardiac diseases.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although strategies for optimization of pharmacologic therapy in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are scripted by guidelines, data from HF registries suggests that guideline-directed medical therapies (GDMT) are underutilized among eligible patients. Whether this discrepancy reflects medication intolerance, contraindications, or a quality of care issue remains unclear. OBJECTIVE The objective of this initiative was to identify reasons for underutilization and under-dosing of HFrEF therapy in patients at a large, academic medical center. METHODS Among 500 patients with HFrEF enrolled in a quality improvement project at a tertiary center, we evaluated usage and dosing of 4 categories of GDMT: ACE inhibitors/Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ACE-i/ARB), Angiotensin Receptor-Neprilysin Inhibitors (ARNi), beta blockers, and Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (MRA). Reasons for nonprescription and usage of suboptimal doses were abstracted from notes in the chart and from telephone review of previous medication trials with the patient. RESULTS Of 500 patients identified, 472 subjects had complete data for analysis. Among eligible patients, ACE-i/ARB were prescribed in 81.4% (293 of 360) and beta blockers in 94.4% (442 of 468). Of these patients, 10.6% were prescribed target doses of ACE-i/ARB and 12.4% were prescribed target doses of beta blockers. Utilization of other categories of GDMT was lower, with 54% of eligible patients prescribed MRAs and 27% prescribed an ARNi. In most cases, the reasons for nonprescription or under-dosing of GDMT were not apparent on review of the health record or discussion with the patient. CONCLUSION Clear rationale for nonprescription and under-dosing of GDMT often cannot be ascertained from detailed review and is only rarely related to documented medication intolerance or contraindications, suggesting an opportunity for quality improvement.

Abstract
The QT interval is a recording of cardiac electrical activity. Previous genome-wide association studies identified genetic variants that modify the QT interval upstream of LITAF (lipopolysaccharide-induced tumor necrosis factor-α factor), a protein encoding a regulator of endosomal trafficking. However, it was not clear how LITAF might impact cardiac excitation. We investigated the effect of LITAF on the voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.5, which is critical for cardiac depolarization. We show that overexpressed LITAF resulted in a significant increase in the density of Nav1.5-generated voltage-gated sodium current INa and Nav1.5 surface protein levels in rabbit cardiomyocytes and in HEK cells stably expressing Nav1.5. Proximity ligation assays showed co-localization of endogenous LITAF and Nav1.5 in cardiomyocytes, whereas co-immunoprecipitations confirmed they are in the same complex when overexpressed in HEK cells. In vitro data suggest that LITAF interacts with the ubiquitin ligase NEDD4-2, a regulator of Nav1.5. LITAF overexpression down-regulated NEDD4-2 in cardiomyocytes and HEK cells. In HEK cells, LITAF increased ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of co-expressed NEDD4-2 and significantly blunted the negative effect of NEDD4-2 on INa We conclude that LITAF controls cardiac excitability by promoting degradation of NEDD4-2, which is essential for removal of surface Nav1.5. LITAF-knockout zebrafish showed increased variation in and a nonsignificant 15% prolongation of action potential duration. Computer simulations using a rabbit-cardiomyocyte model demonstrated that changes in Ca2+ and Na+ homeostasis are responsible for the surprisingly modest action potential duration shortening. These computational data thus corroborate findings from several genome-wide association studies that associated LITAF with QT interval variation.

Abstract
Membrane phospholipid metabolism forms lysophospholipids, which possess unique biochemical and biophysical properties that influence membrane structure and dynamics. However, lysophospholipids also function as ligands for G-protein-coupled receptors that influence embryonic development, postnatal physiology, and disease. The 2 most well-studied species-lysophosphatidic acid and S1P (sphingosine 1-phosphate)-are particularly relevant to vascular development, physiology, and cardiovascular diseases. This review summarizes the role of lysophosphatidic acid and S1P in vascular developmental processes, endothelial cell biology, and their roles in cardiovascular disease processes. In addition, we also point out the apparent connections between lysophospholipid biology and the Wnt (int/wingless family) pathway, an evolutionarily conserved fundamental developmental signaling system. The discovery that components of the lysophospholipid signaling system are key genetic determinants of cardiovascular disease has warranted current and future research in this field. As pharmacological approaches to modulate lysophospholipid signaling have entered the clinical sphere, new findings in this field promise to influence novel therapeutic strategies in cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
Despite increasing ability to understand and correct molecular derangements in disease, genomics and novel phenotypic assays are unevenly deployed in clinical practice. This has hampered translational research and our ability to identify clinically actionable subtypes of disease. Historic examples illustrate how the perspectives of stakeholders across the healthcare ecosystem can influence adoption of innovations in healthcare. Consideration of these factors, from discovery to implementation, can accelerate adoption of new molecular and digital phenotypes in a 'learning' healthcare ecosystem.

Abstract
Importance Optimal treatment of heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is scripted by treatment guidelines, but many eligible patients do not receive guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) in clinical practice. Objective To determine whether a remote, algorithm-driven, navigator-administered medication optimization program could enhance implementation of GDMT in HFrEF. Design, Setting, and Participants In this case-control study, a population-based sample of patients with HFrEF was offered participation in a quality improvement program directed at GDMT optimization. Treating clinicians in a tertiary academic medical center who were caring for patients with heart failure and an ejection fraction of 40% or less (identified through an electronic health record-based search) were approached for permission to adjust medical therapy according to a sequential titration algorithm modeled on the current American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association heart failure guidelines. Navigators contacted participants by telephone to direct medication adjustment and conduct longitudinal surveillance of laboratory tests, blood pressure, and symptoms under supervision of a pharmacist, nurse practitioner, and heart failure cardiologist. Patients and clinicians declining to participate served as a control group. Exposures Navigator-led remote optimization of GDMT compared with usual care. Main Outcomes and Measures Proportion of patients receiving GDMT in the intervention and control groups at 3 months. Results Of 1028 eligible patients (mean [SD] values: age, 68 [14] years; ejection fraction, 32% [8%]; and systolic blood pressure, 122 [18] mm Hg; 305 women (30.0%); 892 individuals [86.8%] in New York Heart Association class I and II), 197 (19.2%) participated in the medication optimization program, and 831 (80.8%) continued with usual care as directed by their treating clinicians (585 [56.9%] general cardiologists; 443 [43.1%] heart failure specialists). At 3 months, patients participating in the remote intervention experienced significant increases from baseline in use of renin-angiotensin system antagonists (138 [70.1%] to 170 [86.3%]; P < .001) and β-blockers (152 [77.2%] to 181 [91.9%]; P < .001) but not mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (51 [25.9%] to 60 [30.5%]; P = .14). Doses for each category of GDMT also increased from baseline in the intervention group. Among the usual-care group, there were no changes from baseline in the proportion of patients receiving GDMT or the dose of GDMT in any category. Conclusions and Relevance Remote titration of GDMT by navigators using encoded algorithms may represent an efficient, population-level strategy for rapidly closing the gap between guidelines and clinical practice in patients with HFrEF.
