Abstract
Youth and adult participation in sports continues to increase, and athletes may be diagnosed with potentially arrhythmogenic cardiac conditions. This international multidisciplinary document is intended to guide electrophysiologists, sports cardiologists, and associated health care team members in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of arrhythmic conditions in the athlete with the goal of facilitating return to sport and avoiding the harm caused by restriction. Expert, disease-specific risk assessment in the context of athlete symptoms and diagnoses is emphasized throughout the document. After appropriate risk assessment, management of arrhythmias geared toward return to play when possible is addressed. Other topics include shared decision-making and emergency action planning. The goal of this document is to provide evidence-based recommendations impacting all areas in the care of athletes with arrhythmic conditions. Areas in need of further study are also discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Holter electrocardiographic monitoring is a cornerstone of diagnostic testing for arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) in Boxer dogs, but physical activity during monitoring is not controlled. In humans, exercise testing (ExT) can identify latent tachyarrhythmias associated with cardiomyopathy, and exercise increases serum cardiac troponin-I concentrations ([hs-cTnI]). These effects have not yet been investigated in Boxer dogs. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES Subjecting Boxer dogs to brief, moderate-intensity ExT can identify changes in Holter recordings and [hs-cTnI] compared to baseline results. ANIMALS Thirty overtly healthy, client-owned Boxer dogs. METHODS Prospective interventional study. Dogs underwent baseline diagnostic testing including 24-hour Holter monitoring and [hs-cTnI], followed by brief ExT (accompanied, brisk stair-climbing and -descending for <5 minutes). RESULTS Eleven dogs (37%) had >100 premature ventricular complexes (PVCs)/24 hours at baseline (3), ExT (3), or both (5). After ExT, these dogs had more PVCs/24 hours and greater increases in [hs-cTnI] compared to those with ≤100 PVCs/24 hours. Dogs with the striatin mutation had more PVCs/24 hours and a greater increase in [hs-cTnI] after ExT than did dogs without the striatin mutation. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Exercise testing may improve the binary classification of Boxer dogs with or without ACM by increasing the number of PVCs and [hs-cTnI] in affected dogs to a greater degree than in unaffected dogs. This effect also is associated with presence or absence of the striatin mutation. Exercise should be a controlled variable when screening Boxer dogs for ACM.

Abstract
The intercalated disc (ID) is a highly specialized structure that connects cardiomyocytes via mechanical and electrical junctions. Although described in some detail by light microscopy in the 19th century, it was in 1966 that electron microscopy images showed that the ID represented apposing cell borders and provided detailed insight into the complex ID nanostructure. Since then, much has been learned about the ID and its molecular composition, and it has become evident that a large number of proteins, not all of them involved in direct cell-to-cell coupling via mechanical or gap junctions, reside at the ID. Furthermore, an increasing number of functional interactions between ID components are emerging, leading to the concept that the ID is not the sum of isolated molecular silos but an interacting molecular complex, an "organelle" where components work in concert to bring about electrical and mechanical synchrony. The aim of the present review is to give a short historical account of the ID's discovery and an updated overview of its composition and organization, followed by a discussion of the physiological implications of the ID architecture and the local intermolecular interactions. The latter will focus on both the importance of normal conduction of cardiac action potentials as well as the impact on the pathophysiology of arrhythmias.

Abstract
AIMS A mutation in the phospholamban (PLN) gene, leading to deletion of Arg14 (R14del), has been associated with malignant arrhythmias and ventricular dilation. Identifying pre-symptomatic carriers with vulnerable myocardium is crucial because arrhythmia can result in sudden cardiac death, especially in young adults with PLN-R14del mutation. This study aimed at assessing the efficiency and efficacy of in vivo genome editing, using CRISPR/Cas9 and a cardiotropic adeno-associated virus-9 (AAV9), in improving cardiac function in young adult mice expressing the human PLN-R14del. METHODS AND RESULTS Humanized mice were generated expressing human wild-type (hPLN-WT) or mutant (hPLN-R14del) PLN in the heterozygous state, mimicking human carriers. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at 12 weeks of age showed bi-ventricular dilation and increased stroke volume in mutant vs. WT mice, with no deficit in ejection fraction or cardiac output. Challenge of ex vivo hearts with isoproterenol and rapid pacing unmasked higher propensity for sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) in hPLN-R14del relative to hPLN-WT. Specifically, the VT threshold was significantly reduced (20.3 ± 1.2 Hz in hPLN-R14del vs. 25.7 ± 1.3 Hz in WT, P < 0.01) reflecting higher arrhythmia burden. To inactivate the R14del allele, mice were tail-vein-injected with AAV9.CRISPR/Cas9/gRNA or AAV9 empty capsid (controls). CRISPR-Cas9 efficiency was evaluated by droplet digital polymerase chain reaction and NGS-based amplicon sequencing. In vivo gene editing significantly reduced end-diastolic and stroke volumes in hPLN-R14del CRISPR-treated mice compared to controls. Susceptibility to VT was also reduced, as the VT threshold was significantly increased relative to controls (30.9 ± 2.3 Hz vs. 21.3 ± 1.5 Hz; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS This study is the first to show that disruption of hPLN-R14del allele by AAV9-CRISPR/Cas9 improves cardiac function and reduces VT susceptibility in humanized PLN-R14del mice, offering preclinical evidence for translatable approaches to therapeutically suppress the arrhythmogenic phenotype in human patients with PLN-R14del disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Cardiac sympathetic nerve system (SNS) might play an important role in arrhythmogenesis of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). This study aims to assess the activity of cardiac SNS in ACM patients by heart rate variability (HRV), and to investigate its predictive value for sustained ventricular tachycardia (sVT). METHODS A total of 88 ACM patients and 65 sex- and age- matched healthy participants were enrolled. The time domain measures were used to evaluate the activity of cardiac SNS. An independent cohort with 48 ACM patients was as the validation cohort. RESULTS ACM patients had lower levels of standard deviation of all NN intervals (SDNN) [118.0 (90.3, 136.8) vs. 152.0 (132.5, 174.5) ms, p < 0.001] compared with healthy participants. Further analysis showed ACM patients with sVT had lower levels of SDNN than those without sVT (105.0 ± 28.1 vs. 131.8 ± 33.1 ms, p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed SDNN was independently associated with sVT in ACM patients [odds ratio (OR) 0.59, 95% confidence interval (CI) (0.45-0.78), p < 0.001]. Receiver operating characteristics curve demonstrated SDNN had clinical values in predicting sVT in ACM patients [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.73, 95% CI (0.63-0.84), p < 0.001], which was verified in the validation cohort. CONCLUSION The present study suggests that HRV is impaired in patients with ACM, and the SDNN level has a moderate value in risk stratification for sVT in ACM patients. In addition, the finding might provide new target for the further management of ACM with integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine.

Exercise Causes Arrhythmogenic Remodeling of Intracellular Calcium Dynamics in Plakophilin-2-Deficient Hearts. Circulation 2022; 145:1480-1496. [PMID: 35491884 PMCID: PMC9086182 DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.121.057757] [Citation(s) in RCA: 21] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2021] [Accepted: 02/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise training, and catecholaminergic stimulation, increase the incidence of arrhythmic events in patients affected with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy correlated with plakophilin-2 (PKP2) mutations. Separate data show that reduced abundance of PKP2 leads to dysregulation of intracellular Ca2+ (Ca2+i) homeostasis. Here, we study the relation between excercise, catecholaminergic stimulation, Ca2+i homeostasis, and arrhythmogenesis in PKP2-deficient murine hearts. METHODS Experiments were performed in myocytes from a cardiomyocyte-specific, tamoxifen-activated, PKP2 knockout murine line (PKP2cKO). For training, mice underwent 75 minutes of treadmill running once per day, 5 days each week for 6 weeks. We used multiple approaches including imaging, high-resolution mass spectrometry, electrocardiography, and pharmacological challenges to study the functional properties of cells/hearts in vitro and in vivo. RESULTS In myocytes from PKP2cKO animals, training increased sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ load, increased the frequency and amplitude of spontaneous ryanodine receptor (ryanodine receptor 2)-mediated Ca2+ release events (sparks), and changed the time course of sarcomeric shortening. Phosphoproteomics analysis revealed that training led to hyperphosphorylation of phospholamban in residues 16 and 17, suggesting a catecholaminergic component. Isoproterenol-induced increase in Ca2+i transient amplitude showed a differential response to β-adrenergic blockade that depended on the purported ability of the blockers to reach intracellular receptors. Additional experiments showed significant reduction of isoproterenol-induced Ca2+i sparks and ventricular arrhythmias in PKP2cKO hearts exposed to an experimental blocker of ryanodine receptor 2 channels. CONCLUSIONS Exercise disproportionately affects Ca2+i homeostasis in PKP2-deficient hearts in a manner facilitated by stimulation of intracellular β-adrenergic receptors and hyperphosphorylation of phospholamban. These cellular changes create a proarrhythmogenic state that can be mitigated by ryanodine receptor 2 blockade. Our data unveil an arrhythmogenic mechanism for exercise-induced or catecholaminergic life-threatening arrhythmias in the setting of PKP2 deficit. We suggest that membrane-permeable β-blockers are potentially more efficient for patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, highlight the potential for ryanodine receptor 2 channel blockers as treatment for the control of heart rhythm in the population at risk, and propose that PKP2-dependent and phospholamban-dependent arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy-related arrhythmias have a common mechanism.

Facts and Gaps in Exercise Influence on Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy: New Insights From a Meta-Analysis Approach. Front Cardiovasc Med 2021; 8:702560. [PMID: 34733888 PMCID: PMC8558346 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2021.702560] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/29/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a genetic cardiac condition characterized by fibrofatty myocardial replacement, either at the right ventricle, at the left ventricle, or with biventricular involvement. Ventricular arrhythmias and heart failure represent its main clinical features. Exercise benefits on mental and physical health are worldwide recognized. However, patients with ACM appear to be an exception. A thorough review of the literature was performed in PubMed searching for original papers with the terms “ARVC AND sports/exercise” and “sudden cardiac death AND sports/exercise.” Additional papers were then identified through other sources and incorporated to the list. All of them had to be based on animal models or clinical series. Information was structured in a regular format, although some data were not available in some papers. A total of 34 papers were selected and processed regarding sports-related sudden cardiac death, pre-clinical models of ACM and sport, and clinical series of ACM patients engaged in sports activities. Eligible papers were identified to obtain pooled data in order to build representative figures showing the global incidence of the most important causes of sudden cardiac death in sports and the global estimates of life-threatening arrhythmic events in ACM patients engaged in sports. Tables and figures illustrate their major characteristics. The scarce points of controversy were discussed in the text. Fundamental concepts were summarized in three main issues: sports may accelerate ACM phenotype with either structural and/or arrhythmic features, restriction may soften the progression, and these rules also apply to phenotype-negative mutation carriers. Additionally, remaining gaps in the current knowledge were also highlighted, namely, the applicability of those fundamental concepts to non-classical ACM phenotypes since left dominant ACM or non-plakophillin-2 genotypes were absent or very poorly represented in the available studies. Hopefully, future research endeavors will provide solid evidence about the safest exercise dose for each patient from a personalized medicine perspective, taking into account a big batch of genetic, epigenetic, and epidemiological variables, for instance, in order to assist clinicians to provide a final tailored recommendation.

Impaired Right Ventricular Calcium Cycling Is an Early Risk Factor in R14del-Phospholamban Arrhythmias. J Pers Med 2021; 11:jpm11060502. [PMID: 34204946 PMCID: PMC8226909 DOI: 10.3390/jpm11060502] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2021] [Revised: 05/27/2021] [Accepted: 05/30/2021] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
The inherited mutation (R14del) in the calcium regulatory protein phospholamban (PLN) is linked to malignant ventricular arrhythmia with poor prognosis starting at adolescence. However, the underlying early mechanisms that may serve as prognostic factors remain elusive. This study generated humanized mice in which the endogenous gene was replaced with either human wild type or R14del-PLN and addressed the early molecular and cellular pathogenic mechanisms. R14del-PLN mice exhibited stress-induced impairment of atrioventricular conduction, and prolongation of both ventricular activation and repolarization times in association with ventricular tachyarrhythmia, originating from the right ventricle (RV). Most of these distinct electrocardiographic features were remarkably similar to those in R14del-PLN patients. Studies in isolated cardiomyocytes revealed RV-specific calcium defects, including prolonged action potential duration, depressed calcium kinetics and contractile parameters, and elevated diastolic Ca-levels. Ca-sparks were also higher although SR Ca-load was reduced. Accordingly, stress conditions induced after contractions, and inclusion of the CaMKII inhibitor KN93 reversed this proarrhythmic parameter. Compensatory responses included altered expression of key genes associated with Ca-cycling. These data suggest that R14del-PLN cardiomyopathy originates with RV-specific impairment of Ca-cycling and point to the urgent need to improve risk stratification in asymptomatic carriers to prevent fatal arrhythmias and delay cardiomyopathy onset.

Desmosomal COP9 regulates proteome degradation in arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy. J Clin Invest 2021; 131:137689.

Abstract
Dysregulated protein degradative pathways are increasingly recognized as mediators of human disease. This mechanism may have particular relevance to desmosomal proteins that play critical structural roles in both tissue architecture and cell-cell communication, as destabilization/breakdown of the desmosomal proteome is a hallmark of genetic-based desmosomal-targeted diseases, such as the cardiac disease arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C). However, no information exists on whether there are resident proteins that regulate desmosomal proteome homeostasis. Here, we uncovered a cardiac constitutive photomorphogenesis 9 (COP9) desmosomal resident protein complex, composed of subunit 6 of the COP9 signalosome (CSN6), that enzymatically restricted neddylation and targeted desmosomal proteome degradation. CSN6 binding, localization, levels, and function were affected in hearts of classic mouse and human models of ARVD/C affected by desmosomal loss and mutations, respectively. Loss of desmosomal proteome degradation control due to junctional reduction/loss of CSN6 and human desmosomal mutations destabilizing junctional CSN6 were also sufficient to trigger ARVD/C in mice. We identified a desmosomal resident regulatory complex that restricted desmosomal proteome degradation and disease.

Manolis AA, Manolis TA, Apostolopoulos EJ, Apostolaki NE, Melita H, Manolis AS. The role of the autonomic nervous system in cardiac arrhythmias: The neuro-cardiac axis, more foe than friend? Trends Cardiovasc Med 2020; 31:290-302. [PMID: 32434043 DOI: 10.1016/j.tcm.2020.04.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 34] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 04/24/2020] [Accepted: 04/30/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The autonomic nervous system (ANS) with its two limbs, the sympathetic (SNS) and parasympathetic nervous system (PSNS), plays a critical role in the modulation of cardiac arrhythmogenesis. It can be both pro- and/or anti-arrhythmic at both the atrial and ventricular level of the myocardium. Intricate mechanisms, different for specific cardiac arrhythmias, are involved in this modulatory process. More data are available for the arrhythmogenic effects of the SNS, which, when overactive, can trigger atrial and/or ventricular "adrenergic" arrhythmias in susceptible individuals (e.g. in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation-PAF, ventricular pre-excitation, specific channelopathies, ischemic heart disease or cardiomyopathies), while it can also negate the protective anti-arrhythmic drug effects. However, there is also evidence that PSNS overactivity may be responsible for triggering "vagotonic" arrhythmias (e.g. PAF, Brugada syndrome, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation). Thus, a fine balance is necessary to attain in these two limbs of the ANS in order to maintain eurhythmia, which is a difficult task to accomplish. Over the years, in addition to classical drug therapies, where beta-blockers prevail, several ANS-modulating interventions have been developed aiming at prevention and management of arrhythmias. Among them, techniques of cardiac sympathetic denervation, renal denervation, vagal stimulation, ganglionated plexi ablation and the newer experimental method of optogenetics have been employed. However, in many arrhythmogenic diseases, ANS modulation is still an investigative tool. Initial data are encouraging; however, further studies are needed to explore the efficacy of such interventions. These issues are herein reviewed and old and recent literature data are discussed, tabulated and pictorially illustrated.

Abstract
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an inherited heart disease characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the ventricular myocardium, a high risk of ventricular arrhythmias, and progressive ventricular dysfunction. The clinical course is highly variable, and optimal approaches to management remain undefined. ARVC is associated with pathogenic variants in genes encoding the cardiac desmosome. Genetic testing facilitates identification of at-risk family members, but penetrance of ARVC in pathogenic variant carriers is difficult to predict. Participation in endurance exercise is a known key risk factor. However, there remains significant uncertainty about which family member will develop disease and how best to approach longitudinal screening. Our clinically focused review describes how new insights gained from natural history studies, improved understanding of pathogenic mechanisms, and appreciation of genetic and environmental modifiers have set the stage for developing personalized approaches to managing both ARVC patients and their at-risk family members.
