Why Do Emergency Medical Service Employees (Not) Seek Organizational Help for Mental Health Support?: A Systematic Review Open
Emergency medical service (EMS) ambulance employees play a critical role in emergency healthcare delivery. However, work-related experiences can compromise their mental health and job satisfaction. Despite available supportive services off…

Why is early-onset atrial fibrillation uncommon in patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy? Insights from the <i>mdx</i> mouse Open
Aims A reduction in both dystrophin and neuronal nitric oxide synthase (NOS1) secondary to microRNA-31 (miR-31) up-regulation contributes to the atrial electrical remodelling that underpins human and experimental atrial fibrillation (AF). …

Cardiac stress leads to regulation of Filamin C dimerisation via an ancient phosphorylation-modulated interaction with HSPB7 Open
The biomechanical properties and responses of tissues underpin a variety of physiological functions and pathologies. In striated muscle, the actin-binding protein filamin C (FLNC) is a key protein whose variants causative for a wide range …

Insights into the Role of a Cardiomyopathy-Causing Genetic Variant in ACTN2 Open
Pathogenic variants in ACTN2, coding for alpha-actinin 2, are known to be rare causes of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. However, little is known about the underlying disease mechanisms. Adult heterozygous mice carrying the Actn2 p.Met228Thr …

BS30 Crucial functions of alpha-actinin2 in the embryonic heart Open
Introduction Alpha-actinin is an integral protein of the Z-discs in heart and skeletal muscle cells, with important structural and signalling functions. Missense variants in alpha-actinin can cause inherited conditions, e.g. myopathies and…

Combination of Whole Genome Sequencing, Linkage, and Functional Studies Implicates a Missense Mutation in Titin as a Cause of Autosomal Dominant Cardiomyopathy With Features of Left Ventricular Noncompaction Open
Background— High throughput next-generation sequencing techniques have made whole genome sequencing accessible in clinical practice; however, the abundance of variation in the human genomes makes the identification of a disease-causing mut…
