Macrophage production of MT1-MMP upon MI contributes to adverse cardiac remodeling and worsened function by promoting EndMT via TGFB, suggesting MT1-MMP inhibition as a therapeutic option for patients with MI.
Maternal loss of imprinting at the Igf2/H19 locus reduces expression of H19 lncRNA and thereby leads to progressive cardiac pathologies in a mouse Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome model.
Personalized virtual-heart technology for arrhythmia risk assessment could transform the management of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients, eliminating many unnecessary primary-prevention defibrillator deployments while ensuring patients at high risk for arrhythmia are adequately protected.
Inhibition of RyR2 hyperactivity with dantrolene not only prevents VT/VF and SCD but also heart failure by mitigating calcium dysfunction in pressure-overloaded hearts.
Ex vivo, in vitro, and computational modeling studies indicate a persistence of myofibroblast senescence in the infarct border zone with age which can disrupt conduction and promote arrhythmias via senescent myofibroblast-cardiomyocyte coupling.

FHOD1 and CARP/Ankrd1 interact with the N-terminal region of palladin and cardiomyocyte-specific deletion of palladin in adult, but not embryonic, mice leads to dilated cardiomyopathy associated with intercalated disc widening.
