Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• AF is associated with ventricular arrhythmic triggers: ventricular cardiomyocytes from patients with AF exhibited increased diastolic Ca2+ waves and delayed afterdepolarizations compared with sinus rhythm controls. • Irregular ventricular activation alone induces proarrhythmic mechanisms: in murine ventricular cardiomyocytes, AF simulation with irregular pacing induced arrhythmic events. • Oxidative CaMKII activation and NCX mediate AF-induced arrhythmogenesis: AF simulation increased CaMKII oxidation and phosphorylation of Ca2+-handling proteins, promoted diastolic Ca2+-release, and increased NCX activity, facilitating NCX-mediated triggered activity. • Genetic ablation of CaMKII oxidation prevents AF-induced ventricular arrhythmogenesis: cardiomyocytes lacking regulatory CaMKII oxidation sites were protected from AF-induced arrhythmogenic Ca2+-release events. • These findings identify a mechanistic link between AF and ventricular arrhythmias.
