Abstract

Circulating autoantibodies against myosin heavy chain have been detected in patients with ventricular myocarditis and in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. This study investigated the presence of antibodies against myosin in sera of healthy control persons as compared with patients with idiopathic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation refractory to antiarrhythmic therapy. An SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) procedure, followed by Western blotting with homogenates and membrane fractions of human left ventricular and atrial specimen as antigens, was used to analyze sera of 10 patients with idiopathic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and 10 age-matched healthy control subjects. Circulating immunoglobulin G reactivity against cardiac myosin heavy chain was detected in 6 patients (60%) as compared with 1 control subject (10%). This difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). All patients with idiopathic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who showed reactivity against myosin heavy chain also had specific reactivity in their sera that exhibited reactivities to both ventricular and atrial cardiac myosin heavy chain isoforms. This study demonstrates the presence of circulating autoantibodies against myo...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy is a disease of the heart muscle, that can lead to muscular or electrical dysfunction of the heart. It is often an irreversible disease that is associated with a poor prognosis. There are different causes and classifications of cardiomyopathies. Here are the latest discoveries pertaining to this disease.

Atrial Filbrillation

Atrial fibrillation refers to the abnormal heart rhythm characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria. Here is the latest research.

Anti-Arrhythmic Drug Therapies

Anti-arrhythmic drugs are used to prevent abnormal heart rhythms. These medications are used in conditions including, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation and atrial fibrillation. Discover the latest research on anti-arrhythmic drug therapies here.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.

Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanisms of Action

Understanding the mechanism of action of antiarrhythmic agents is essential in developing new medications as treatment of cardiac arrhythmias is currently limited by the reduced availability of safe and effective drugs. Discover the latest research on Antiarrhythmic Agents: Mechanism of Action here.
