ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the curative effect of 17β-estradiol on idiopathic ventricular arrhythmia (IVA) during peri-menopausal period and explore the association with IP3/Ryn expression of receptor-regulated calcium pool. Methods 32 cases IVA during peri-menopausal period (IVA group) and 32 cases healthy women during peri-menopausal period of the same levels of age (normal control group) were selected. The IVA group received oral 17β-estradiol for 2 months. The count of arrhythmia in IVA group was recorded, the IP3/Ryn 2 expression pre- and post-treatment in IVA group and normal control group were detected. Results Compared with pre-treatment, 17β-estradiol significantly reduced the occurrence of IVA (P<0.05). Compared with pre-treatment, 17β-estradiol significantly reduced IP3 expression(P<0.05), while there was no significant difference compared with normal control group. 17β-estradiol had no significant effect on Ryn 2 expression. Conclusion The anti-IVA effect of 17β-estradiol may be associated with the IP3 receptor gene expression.

ABSTRACT

Mutation or common intronic variants in cardiac ion channel genes have been suggested to be associated with sudden cardiac death caused by idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmia. This study aimed to find mutations in cardiac ion channel genes of Korean sudden cardiac arrest patients with structurally normal heart and to verify association between common genetic variation in cardiac ion channel and sudden cardiac arrest by idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmia in Koreans. Study participants were Korean survivors of sudden cardiac arrest caused by idiopathic ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation. All coding exons of the SCN5A, KCNQ1, and KCNH2 genes were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. Fifteen survivors of sudden cardiac arrest were included. Three male patients had mutations in SCN5A gene and none in KCNQ1 and KCNH2 genes. Intronic variant (rs2283222) in KCNQ1 gene showed significant association with sudden cardiac arrest (OR 4.05). Four male sudden cardiac arrest survivors had intronic variant (rs11720524) in SCN5A gene. None of female survivors of sudden cardiac arrest had SCN5A gene mutations despite similar frequencies of intronic variants between males and females in 55 normal controls. Common intronic variant in KCNQ1 gene is associated with sudden cardiac arrest caused by idiopathic ventricular tachyarrhythmia in Koreans.
