Long-Term Risk of Incident Arrhythmias Associated With Early Repolarization Pattern - The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) Study.

Background: The early repolarization pattern (ERP) is associated with cardiovascular death, but its connection with arrhythmias remains unknown. This study evaluated relationships between ERP and incident arrhythmias, including ventricular arrhythmias, bradyarrhythmias, and atrial fibrillation (AF)/flutter (Afl).

Methods And Results: We analyzed 14,679 middle-aged (45-64 years) participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities cohort, a prospective population-based study in the US.

Quality markers for processed products of Morinda officinalis how based on the "oligosaccharides-spectrum-effect".

Morinda officinalis How (MO) possesses prominent tonifying kidney yang and strengthening bone and muscle effects in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Due to the complexity of MO components, the chemical mechanism leading to efficacy changes of MO caused by processing remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate and discover quality markers (Q-markers) related to the clinical efficacy of processed MO.
