Article Abstract

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart disease, and current pharmacological therapies are directed toward the management of electrical manifestations. To date, none address the underlying pathophysiology of this progressive condition. We evaluated the therapeutic efficacy of Tideglusib (TD) in Ank2 cardio-selective-knockout and homozygous desmoglein-2 mutant ACM mouse models. TD was able to prevent and reverse the reduced cardiac function in treated mice. Moreover, TD-treated adult mice displayed a reduction in ventricular arrhythmia following adrenergic stimulation. We provide compelling preclinical data for TD as a potential therapy for patients with ACM.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a hereditary infiltrative cardiomyopathy characterized by fibrofatty replacement of the right ventricular myocardium, which may extend to the left ventricle in the advanced stages. Clinically, the condition is commonly associated with right ventricular dilation, malignant arrhythmias, and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death. In this study, we successfully established induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) lines from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of ARVC patients carrying a heterozygous LMNA gene mutation (c.

Right Ventricle-Dominant Cardiac Sarcoidosis Diagnosed Using a Multimodal Approach.

JACC Case Rep

September 2025

Department of Cardiovascular Medicine, Graduate School of Medical Sciences, Kumamoto University, Kumamoto, Japan.

Background: Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) usually affects the left ventricle and presents with nonspecific features like conduction abnormalities and ventricular arrhythmias. However, right ventricle (RV)-dominant involvement has been increasingly reported, making diagnosis difficult.

Case Summary: A 55-year-old man presented with palpitations.

Background MRI-derived arrhythmogenic substrate, including late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and extracellular volume fraction (ECV), is indicative of sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). The relative prognostic value of LGE and ECV remains unclear. Purpose To evaluate the performance of LGE and T1 mapping in predicting SCD in patients with DCM and to explore clinical implementation.

An electrical storm (ES) represents one of cardiology's most formidable and life-threatening crises, marked by relentless ventricular arrhythmias within a 24-hour period. While stimulant cardiotoxicity is an escalating concern, the devastating role of methamphetamine in triggering refractory ES and its deleterious outcomes in advanced cardiomyopathy, particularly within the critical care setting, remains profoundly underreported and poorly understood. We present the urgent case of a 44-year-old male with end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy and chronic, heavy methamphetamine abuse, who spiraled into incessant ventricular tachycardia (VT) storm following acute methamphetamine use.
