Abstract
AIMS To determine whether a family history of unexplained heart failure (HF) in first-degree relatives (children or sibling) increases the rate of unexplained HF. METHODS AND RESULTS Using Danish nationwide registry data (1978-2017), we identified patients (probands) diagnosed with first unexplained HF (HF without any known comorbidities) in Denmark, and their first-degree relatives. All first-degree relatives were followed from the HF date of the proband and until an event of unexplained HF, exclusion diagnosis, death, emigration, or study end, whichever occurred first. Using the general population as a reference, we calculated adjusted standardized incidence ratios (SIR) of unexplained HF in the three groups of relatives using Poisson regression models. We identified 55,110 first-degree relatives to individuals previously diagnosed with unexplained HF. Having a family history was associated with a significantly increased unexplained HF rate of 2.59 (95%CI 2.29-2.93). The estimate was higher among siblings (SIR 6.67 [95%CI 4.69-9.48]). Noteworthy, the rate of HF increased for all first-degree relatives when the proband was diagnosed with HF in a young age (≤50 years, SIR of 7.23 [95%CI 5.40-9.68]) and having >1 proband (SIR of 5.28 [95%CI 2.75-10.14]). The highest estimate of HF was observed if the proband was ≤40 years at diagnosis (13.17 [95%CI 8.90-19.49]. CONCLUSION A family history of unexplained HF was associated with a two-fold increased rate of unexplained HF among first-degree relatives. The relative rate was increased when the proband was diagnosed at a young age. These data suggest that screening families of unexplained HF with onset below 50 years is indicated.

Sun S, Xun G, Zhang J, Gao Y, Ge J, Liu F, Qian Q, Liu X, Tian Y, Sun Q, Wang Q, Wang X. An integrated approach for investigating pharmacodynamic material basis of Lingguizhugan Decoction in the treatment of heart failure. JOURNAL OF ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 295:115366. [PMID: 35551974 DOI: 10.1016/j.jep.2022.115366] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2021] [Revised: 04/24/2022] [Accepted: 05/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE As a classical formula of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), Lingguizhugan Decoction (LGZGD) has been used for treating heart failure (HF) because it has an efficiency of yang-warming and fluid-dispersing. However, the pharmacodynamic material basis of LGZGD responsible for the therapeutic benefits is not well understood. AIM OF THE STUDY The aim of this study was to elucidate the pharmacodynamic material basis of LGZGD by an integrated approach. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following oral administration of LGZGD in mice, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHPLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS) was used to identify prototype substances. A heart failure (HF) model was established, followed by an untargeted metabolomics study to determine potential targets of LGZGD. The network pharmacology method was performed to screen substances that interacted with potential targets of LGZGD treating HF. Molecular docking technology was applied to further screen substances based on binding energy. Cell viability assays were conducted to verify pharmacodynamic effects of selected substances. RESULTS In all, forty-two prototype substances were identified in the blood, urine, and fecal samples of mice. A total of fifty-five differential metabolites were identified using heart tissue untargeted metabolomics. Twenty-five substances of LGZGD were screened relating to thirty-three targets treating HF. Twenty-two substances were filtered according to their binding energy using molecular docking technology. Cell experiments revealed cinnamaldehyde, glycyrrhetinic acid, kaempferol, daidzein, caffeic acid, and catechin could significantly improve the survival rate of H9c2 cells, which might be the pharmacodynamic material basis of LGZGD. CONCLUSIONS A scientific approach that integrated in vivo substances identification, metabolomics, network pharmacology, molecular docking, and cell pharmacodynamic assay has been developed to study the pharmacodynamic material basis of LGZGD in the treatment of HF.

Abstract
Family health history is a well-established risk factor for many health conditions but the systematic collection of health histories, particularly for multiple generations and multiple family members, can be challenging. Routinely-collected electronic databases in a select number of sites worldwide offer a powerful tool to conduct multigenerational health research for entire populations. At these sites, administrative and healthcare records are used to construct familial relationships and objectively-measured health histories. We review and synthesize published literature to compare the attributes of routinely-collected, linked databases for three European sites (Denmark, Norway, Sweden) and three non-European sites (Canadian province of Manitoba, Taiwan, Australian state of Western Australia) with the capability to conduct population-based multigenerational health research. Our review found that European sites primarily identified family structures using population registries, whereas non-European sites used health insurance registries (Manitoba and Taiwan) or linked data from multiple sources (Western Australia). Information on familial status was reported to be available as early as 1947 (Sweden); Taiwan had the fewest years of data available (1995 onwards). All centres reported near complete coverage of familial relationships for their population catchment regions. Challenges in working with these data include differentiating biological and legal relationships, establishing accurate familial linkages over time, and accurately identifying health conditions. This review provides important insights about the benefits and challenges of using routinely-collected, population-based linked databases for conducting population-based multigenerational health research, and identifies opportunities for future research within and across the data-intensive environments at these six sites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number and rank order of siblings could be of importance for risk of cardiovascular disease and mortality. Previous studies have used only fatal events for risk prediction. We, therefore, aimed to use also non-fatal coronary and cardiovascular events in fully adjusted models. METHODS From the Multiple-Generation Register in Sweden, data were used from 1.36 million men and 1.32 million women (born 1932-1960), aged 30-58 years at baseline and with follow-up from 1990 to 2015. Mean age at follow-up was 67 years (range 55-83 years). Fatal and non-fatal events were retrieved from national registers. RESULTS Compared with men with no siblings, those with 1-2 siblings had a lower, and those with four or more siblings had a higher adjusted risk of cardiovascular events. Again, compared with men with no siblings, those with more than one sibling had a lower total mortality risk, and those with three or more siblings had an increased risk of coronary events.Correspondingly, compared with women with no siblings those women with three siblings or more had an increased risk of cardiovascular events, and those with two siblings or more had an increased risk of coronary events. Women with one sibling or more were at lower total mortality risk, following full adjustment. CONCLUSION Being first born is associated with a favourable effect on non-fatal cardiovascular and coronary events for both men and women. The underlying biological mechanisms for this should be studied in a sociocultural context.
