Abstract Introduction Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCMP) is characterized by restrictive filling and reduced diastolic volume of either or both ventricles with normal or near-normal systolic function and wall thickness. It may occur idiopathically or as a cardiac manifestation of systemic diseases and various neuromuscular disorders. Often RCMP occurs with severe symptoms of heart failure and has an poor prognosis. Given the presence of structural myocardial abnormalities, atrial dilatation, this group of patients has a high risk of heart rhythm and conduction disturbances. Objective To present our clinical experience in RCMP with the heart rhythm and conduction disturbances in children. Material and methods The study was approved by the Institute Ethical Review Board. On behalf of the children enrolled in the study, written informed consent was obtained from the next of kin. The study included 18 children with RCMP presented with heart failure class II-IV. The genotyping was performed to all patients. The identified genetic variants were classified according to ACMG guidelines. We analyzed clinical history, data of physical examination, laboratory findings, ECG, echocardiography, Holter monitoring, genetic test, cardiac MRI and CT performed according to clinical indications and physician's. Results Mean age of RCMP manifestation was 2,1 y.o. [0–11] with HF as a main clinical feature. Rhythm and conduction disorders were reported in 83% (n=15) of children. The structure of the disorders included: atriventricular block 1–2 degrees in 22% (n=4), supraventricular disorders (extrasystole, tachycardia, atrial fibrillation) in 44% (n=8), ventricular disorders (extrasystole, tachycardia) in 16% of patients (n=3). One patient had a combined rhythm and conduction disorder (sinus sick syndrome, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia), which required implantation of a pacemaker with a defibrillator function. In one patient, the manifestation of the disease was with hemodynamically significant permanent-recurrent atrial tachycardia. Mortality in this group of patients was 27% (= 5), the cause of death was the progression of heart failure in 3 children and sudden arrhythmial death in 2 patients. Conclusions Thus, RCMP is a severe, genetically caused, with early manifestation progressive disease with high risks of rhythm and conduction disturbances, sudden arrhythmial death. According to the testimony, patients should receive antiarrhythmic therapy and, if necessary, pacemaker implantation is indicated.

About 10 distinct potassium channels in the heart are involved in shaping the action potential. Some of the K+channels are primarily responsible for early repolarization, whereas others drive late repolarization and still others are open throughout the cardiac cycle. Three main K+channels drive the late repolarization of the ventricle with some redundancy, and in atria this repolarization reserve is supplemented by the fairly atrial-specific KV1.5, Kir3, KCa, and K2Pchannels. The role of the latter two subtypes in atria is currently being clarified, and several findings indicate that they could constitute targets for new pharmacological treatment of atrial fibrillation. The interplay between the different K+channel subtypes in both atria and ventricle is dynamic, and a significant up- and downregulation occurs in disease states such as atrial fibrillation or heart failure. The underlying posttranscriptional and posttranslational remodeling of the individual K+channels changes their activity and significance relative to each other, and they must be viewed together to understand their role in keeping a stable heart rhythm, also under menacing conditions like attacks of reentry arrhythmia.

As a rule, heart damage in patients with sarcoidosis of respiratory organs (SOD) is not diagnosed in time, so a very important and urgent task is to identify common heart rhythm and conduction disorders.The aim of the study was to investigate the main clinical manifestations of sarcoidosis in SOD, depending on the peculiarities of the disease course and to compare the frequency and severity of pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations of sarcoidosis, including myocardial lesions and electrocardiographic (ECG) signs of heart rhythm disorders.Methods. In the period 2006– 2016, the pilot open prospective uncontrolled study conducted at the Pulmonology Department of the Regional State Autonomous Healthcare Institution "Tomsk Regional Clinical Hospital" included patients (n = 84) aged 20–67 years with the diagnosis of SOD. Patients were divided into 2 clinical groups: the 1st comprised 45 (53.5%) patients with a favorable course of sarcoidosis, the second one included 39 (46.4%) patients with an unfavorable course of the disease. A full range of studies was carried out, including the analysis of medical history and clinical and epidemiological data, instrumental methods (including ECG and Holter ECG monitoring (HM), pathomorphological study of lung biopsy samples.Results. According to the data of frequency analysis of occurrence of pulmonary and extrapulmonary clinical manifestations in ODS, it was shown that the leading clinical manifestations, most frequently occurring in patients of both groups, included asthenia syndrome (72.6%), bronchial syndrome (66.7%) and fever syndrome (33%). In 33% of cases, clinical manifestations of myocardial damage were detected. In 41 (51.2%) patients in both groups, changes on ECG were recorded at rest. Regardless of the course of the disease, in 23.5% of patients of both clinical groups, according to the results of the HM ECG, rhythm and conduction disturbances were found – a combination of ventricular arrhythmias and conduction disorders (ventricular extrasystole and right His bundle branch block of various degrees) and a combination of supraventricular arrhythmias and conduction disturbances (supraventricular extrasystole and right His bundle branch block of various degrees).Conclusion. Thus, regardless of the severity of the disease course, SOD patients are concerned about complaints from both respiratory system and extrapulmonary manifestations, including cardiac complaints, as well as heart rhythm and conduction disorders (according to the results of ECG and HM ECG), the frequency of which, according to the comparative analysis, has not significantly changed in both clinical groups, which indicates the non-specific character of clinical manifestations.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common and dangerous heart rhythm disorders. Lone AF is due to a genetic predisposition. Foreign studies have proven the association of rs2200733 polymorphism of chromosome 4q25 with AF. No such studies have been conducted in the Russian Federation. Purpose of the study: to determine the association of the rs2200733 polymorphism of chromosome 4q25 with the development of AF, and to exclude the possible connection of the studied polymorphic marker with concomitant cardiovascular pathology. A total of 247 patients with AF were examined (113 from lone AF, 134 from secondary). Control group - 182 healthy people. Behavior: ECG, EchoCG, Holter ECG monitoring, blood test for thyroid hormones, VEM, CAG, molecular genetic research. In the group of patients with AF, the TT genotype was detected in 12.95%, which is statistically significant more often than in the control group (4.94%), p<0.05. In the presence of a genotype with a rare T allele, the risk of developing AF increases by 1.5 times. The TT genotype was statistically significant more often in the subgroup of patients with isolated AF (17.70%) in comparison with the control group (4.94%), p<0.05. The risk of developing isolated AF in the presence of a genotype with a rare allele T is 1.8 times increased. Chronic heart failure, no statistically significant differences were found (p>0.05). In patients with the TT genotype, the mean LA size was 3.738 ± 0.494 cm, it was statistically significantly smaller than in patients with the CC genotype, which corresponded to 3.925 ± 0.629 cm, p<0.05; and than in individuals with a heterozygous CT genotype, its value in this subgroup is 4.018 ± 0.639 cm, p<0.05. Conclusions: Homozygous genotype for the rare TT allele and the T allele of the rs2200733 polymorphism of chromosome 4q25 are predictors of lone AF. The rs2200733 polymorphism has no association with any cardiovascular pathology, such as hypertension, ischemic heart disease and chronic heart failure. The TT genotype and the T allele of the rs2200733 polymorphism do not affect left atrial remodeling in patients with AF.

Abstract Clinicians accept that there are many unknowns when we make diagnostic and therapeutic decisions. Acceptance of uncertainty is essential for the pursuit of the profession: bedside decisions must often be made on the basis of incomplete evidence. Over the years, physicians sometimes even do not realize anymore which the fundamental gaps in our knowledge are. As clinical scientists, however, we have to halt and consider what we do not know yet, and how we can move forward addressing those unknowns. The European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) believes that scanning the field of arrhythmia / cardiac electrophysiology to identify knowledge gaps which are not yet the subject of organized research, should be undertaken on a regular basis. Such a review (White Paper) should concentrate on research which is feasible, realistic, and clinically relevant, and should not deal with futuristic aspirations. It fits with the EHRA mission that these White Papers should be shared on a global basis in order to foster collaborative and needed research which will ultimately lead to better care for our patients. The present EHRA White Paper summarizes knowledge gaps in the management of atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia/sudden death and heart failure.

Abstract Aims The clinical impact of new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (NOP-LBBB) and permanent pacemaker implantation (PPI) on transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) recipients remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the impact of (i) periprocedural NOP-LBBB and PPI post-TAVR on 1-year all-cause death, cardiac death, and heart failure hospitalization and (ii) NOP-LBBB on the need for PPI at 1-year follow-up. Methods and results We performed a systematic search from PubMed and EMBASE databases for studies reporting raw data on 1-year clinical impact of NOP-LBBB or periprocedural PPI post-TAVR. Data from 30 studies, including 7792 patients (12 studies) and 42 927 patients (21 studies) for the evaluation of the impact of NOP-LBBB and PPI after TAVR were sourced, respectively. NOP-LBBB was associated with an increased risk of all-cause death [risk ratio (RR) 1.32, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.17–1.49; P &lt; 0.001], cardiac death (RR 1.46, 95% CI 1.20–1.78; P &lt; 0.001), heart failure hospitalization (RR 1.35, 95% CI 1.05–1.72; P = 0.02), and PPI (RR 1.89, 95% CI 1.58–2.27; P &lt; 0.001) at 1-year follow-up. Periprocedural PPI after TAVR was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death (RR 1.17, 95% CI 1.11–1.25; P &lt; 0.001) and heart failure hospitalization (RR 1.18, 95% CI 1.03–1.36; P = 0.02). Permanent pacemaker implantation was not associated with an increased risk of cardiac death (RR 0.84, 95% CI 0.67–1.05; P = 0.13). Conclusion NOP-LBBB and PPI after TAVR are associated with an increased risk of all-cause death and heart failure hospitalization at 1-year follow-up. Periprocedural NOP-LBBB also increased the risk of cardiac death and PPI within the year following the procedure. Further studies are urgently warranted to enhance preventive measures and optimize the management of conduction disturbances post-TAVR.
