Abstract Calcium (Ca 2+) plays a central role in cardiomyocyte excitation-contraction
coupling. To ensure an optimal electrical impulse propagation and cardiac contraction, Ca …

New‐onset atrial fibrillation (NAF) is increased in the type 2 diabetic patient because of the
presence of the metaboli syndrome and increased sympathetic activity. This results in …

Barley grass powder is the best functional food that provides nutrition and eliminates toxins
from cells in human beings; however, its functional ingredients have played an important …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia worldwide, is driven by complex
mechanisms that differ between subgroups of patients. This complexity is apparent from the …

Ca2+-activated K+ channels are critical to cellular Ca2+ homeostasis and excitability; they
couple intracellular Ca2+ and membrane voltage change. Of these, the small, 4–14 pS …

Small-conductance Ca2+-activated K+ channels (SK, KCa2) are gated solely by intracellular
microdomain Ca2+. The channel has emerged as a therapeutic target for cardiac …

Heart failure and atrial fibrillation are common and responsible for significant mortality of
patients. Both share the same risk factors like hypertension, ischemic heart disease …

Rhythm and rate strategies are considered equivalent for the management of atrial
fibrillation (AF). Moreover, both strategies are intended for improving symptoms and quality …

Mammalian aquaporins (AQPs) are transmembrane channels expressed in a large variety of
cells and tissues throughout the body. They are known as water channels, but they also …

Atria-selective antiarrhythmic drugs in need of alliance partners. Guideline-based treatment
of atrial fibrillation (AF) comprises prevention of thromboembolism and stroke, as well as …
