Background: Type-II diabetes (DMII) and metabolic syndrome (MBS) increase ventricular arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death risk.
Objectives: Identify mechanisms through which DMII and MBS promote ventricular tachycardia (VT).
Methods: We performed programmed ventricular stimulation (PVS) on leptin receptor mutant (Db/Db) mice with DMII, high fat high sucrose (HFHS)-fed mice with MBS, and cGMP-dependent Protein Kinase 1α (PKG1α) leucine zipper mutant (LZM) mice, which have neither DMII nor MBS but have disrupted PKG1α signaling.

Introduction: Modern acid-producing diets in patients with stage G3 to G5 chronic kidney disease (CKD) can cause severe acid accumulation with metabolic acidosis and less severe accumulation causing eubicarbonatemic acidosis in stages G2 to G3, each with kidney injury. The impact of these diets on acid accumulation in those with CKD but normal estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (CKD G1) is unclear.
Methods: We assessed whether acid accumulation occurs in patients with CKD and normal eGFR, and if added base-producing fruits and vegetables (F&Vs) or oral sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO) (HCO ) reduces acid accumulation and/or lowers kidney injury.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality with both monogenic and polygenic components. Here, we report results from a large genome-wide association study and multitrait analysis including 5,900 HCM cases, 68,359 controls and 36,083 UK Biobank participants with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We identified 70 loci (50 novel) associated with HCM and 62 loci (20 novel) associated with relevant left ventricular traits.
