Several epidemiological studies have shown that sudden death of a family member is a risk factor for SCD and VF during acute myocardial infarction (MI), independent of traditional risk factors including family history of MI, suggesting a genetic component in the susceptibility to VF. To prevent SCD and VF due to MI, we need a better understanding of the genetic and molecular mechanisms causing VF in this apparently healthy population. Even though new insights and technologies have become available, the genetic predisposition to VF during MI remains poorly understood. Findings from a variety of different genetic studies have failed to reach reproducibility, although several genetic variants, both common and rare variants, have been associated to either VF or SCD. For this review, we searched PubMed for potentially relevant articles, using the following MeSH-terms: "sudden cardiac death", "ventricular fibrillation", "out-of-hospital cardiac arrest", "myocardial infarction, myocardial ische- mia", "coronary artery disease", and "genetics". This review describes the epidemiology and evidence for genetic susceptibility to VF due to MI.展开更多

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is present in a significant number of patients with CHF and is associateing with significant morbidity and increasing mortality rates. Thus it is necessary to establish therapy to improve the poor prognosis in this high-risk population, but a specific benefit of beta-blockers to the subset with concomitant AF and CHF has been little demonstrated. Objective: To examine the effects of Bisoprolol (6 months treatment) on the ventricular function and hemodynamics in patients with AF and CHF. Methods: 84 patients with stable CHF (NYHA≤Ⅲ class) and AF were assigned to Treated Group( n = 37) or Control group Ⅰ ( n = 22, 24-hour heart mean rate < 70/min) or Control Group Ⅱ ( n = 25, 24-hour heart mean rate ≥ 70/min) . All patients were given the basic therapy for CHF, and Treated Group received Bisopolol. Clinical and echocardiographic variables were measured in 3 groups at baseline and after 6 months, and the results were compared . Results: After 6 months of treatment with Bisoprolol, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and NYHA class had significandy improved (P < 0.05), and a trend towards a reduction in combined end point of death or CHF hospitalization was also observed (P < 0.20) in Treated Group; The increase of LVEF in Treated Group were associated with a reduction in mitral regurgitation degree and left atrial volume; The heart rate in mean 24-hour and at peak exercise decreased in Treated Group, but were similar to that in Control Group Ⅰ. Conclusion: 6 months of Bisoprolol therapy resulted in an improvement in the NYHA class and LVEF, and also showed a trend towards a reduction in hospitalization or death. The beneficial effects of Bisoprolol on patients with AF and CHF may be partly mediated by improvement of ventricular diastolic function.展开更多
