Our new article in Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology jmcc-online.com/article/S0022-… demonstrating how differences in the properties of atrial and ventricular Nav1.5 modify the sensitivity to flecainide. Great team effort! Davor Pavlovic Dan Johnson Molly O'Reilly Jasmeet Singh Chris O'Shea Nathan Tucker

Proud of Max Cumberland & the team: 1st paper of PhD (The National Centre for the 3Rs, British Heart Foundation) accepted. Check out this review: frontiersin.org/articles/10.33… Great team effort, involving @blarodlo13, Leto Luana Riebel, Ashwin Roy, Chris O'Shea, Andrew P Holmes, Chris Denning, Paulus Kirchhof @ICVS_UoB RDM Oxford

Chronic intermittent hypoxia, Increases carotid body activity. Propranolol blockade, Can prevent this cascade, Suggesting it’s a beta-adrenergic proclivity.

In our new study we show that anabolic steroids could have dangerous effects on the electrical function of the heart, particularly in those young men who (often unknowingly) have inherited genetic mutations. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/JP… Laura Sommerfeld and Larissa Fabritz Journal of Physiology

A new study, led by Professor Larissa Fabritz and Andrew P Holmes, has discovered a link between anabolic steroid use and heart disease. Find out more here: birmingham.ac.uk/news/2024/anab…

Misuse of anabolic steroids could increase the risk of heart disease. In our latest blog, Andrew P Holmes, Laura Sommerfeld & Professor Larissa Fabritz of University Center of Cardiovascular Science (UCCS) & @ICVS_UoB, discuss their paper recently published in Journal of Physiology.

I'm delighted to share that I successfully passed my PhD viva UoB Department of Biomedical Sciences I extend my sincere appreciation to all who supported me throughout this academic journey. Special thanks to my supervisors, Dr Andrew Holmes and Dr Andrew Coney, for their invaluable mentorship.

And that’s a wrap for ISAN 2024 👋 thanks to the organising committees in Oxford and Birmingham, to all the speakers and to everyone who attended. Safe travels!

Laura Sommerfeld (Cardiovascular Sciences (CVS)- UoB University Center of Cardiovascular Science (UCCS)) et al. found that androgenic anabolic steroids combined with plakoglobin deficiency cause pathological atrial electrical remodelling in young male hearts 🫀🧬 📜 Read the #ResearchArticle here: buff.ly/3N0lieL
