P.K. Currents were recorded using two‐electrode voltage clamp technique measurements after application of the depicted pulse protocol. The parameters of the TASK‐1 model were then adjusted to reconstruct the measured AERPs without A293 at the BCLs: the TASK‐1 conductivity for AF cells was set to 0.0035 nS/pF to simulate the state without drug bound to the channel.

Two‐electrode voltage clamp recordings of macroscopic currents were performed, as reported earlier.18 In brief, measurements were performed 1 to 4 days after cRNA injection using a Warner OC‐725C amplifier (Warner Instruments, Hamden, CT) and pCLAMP9 (Axon Instruments, Foster City, CA) software for data acquisition. Correspondence to 29, 632–639 (2008). In response to this apparent disconnect between the known pathophysiology of AF and clinical management, we propose a roadmap to develop a set of clinical markers that reflect the major causes of AF in patients. A list of the major health modifiers causing AF, and of the corresponding clinical markers, would form a valid basis for stratified or personalized approaches to prevention and treatment (Box 2). While human atrial cardiomyocytes displayed slightly higher background potassium current densities at the baseline level, administration of A293 (200 nmol/L) resulted in comparable current inhibition (Figure 2E). The highest conductivity value at which persistent reentry could be stopped by A293 was at 1.2 S/m (equal to 90 cm/sec). (2020), European Journal of Epidemiology Spach, M. S., Heidlage, J. F., Dolber, P. C. & Barr, R. C. Mechanism of origin of conduction disturbances in aging human atrial bundles: experimental and model study. Electrodes were pulled from borosilicate glass (GB 100F‐10, Science Products, Hofheim, Germany) using a Flaming/Brown P‐87 micropipette puller (Sutter Instruments, Novato, CA). This experimental compound was later found to be a much more potent TASK‐1 inhibitor that is active in the 3‐digit nanomolar range.16, 17, 18. Taken together, these experiments indicate the therapeutic potential of A293 for AF treatment. Drca, N., Wolk, A., Jensen-Urstad, M. & Larsson, S. C. Atrial fibrillation is associated with different levels of physical activity levels at different ages in men. In contrast, a cardioversion rate of 100% (n=5 pigs) was documented after intravenous application of A293 (Figure 5B). This preclinical study was designed as a proof‐of‐concept trial to assess the antiarrhythmic potential of the pharmacologic TASK‐1 K+ channel inhibitor A293 for acute cardioversion in a porcine model of AF as well as in a translational in silico model of human atrial electrophysiology. PubMed  Additional 5 seconds for each conductivity were calculated for both blocked and unblocked TASK‐1 channels. The prevalence and incidence of AF increase with age. Gudbjartsson, D. F. et al. Their finding that the effect of A293 on AERPs was even more pronounced in the Alessi goat model of tachypacing‐induced artificial AF is most likely explained by AF‐associated upregulation of TASK‐1, as KV1.5 was described to be downregulated in atrial remodeling.36.

Atrial Nox2 activity was significantly increased shortly after AF induction in goats, and in atrial samples from patients in sinus rhythm who developed AF after cardiac surgery20. The lower section of the flow chart illustrates some of the potential health benefits of a new classification of AF. Circulation 107, 2355–2360 (2003). Europace 16, 6–14 (2014). Data are presented as mean±SEM. Res. In particular, TASK‐1 currents were recently shown to modulate atrial action potential duration (APD) in AF and heart failure.10, 11 In the human heart, the expression of TASK‐1 subunits is restricted to the atria.10, 12, 13 Strikingly, the atrial TASK‐1 levels were upregulated in paroxysmal and chronic AF, which contributes to pathological shortening of the atrial APD.10 In vitro experiments demonstrated that pharmacologic blockade of TASK‐1 currents could revert the APD shortening observed in atrial cardiomyocytes isolated from patients with AF to levels observed among controls with sinus rhythm.10 Therefore, TASK‐1 inhibition may represent an atrial‐specific, mechanism‐based approach for AF therapy.14, 15, The aromatic carbonamide A293 was initially developed as an inhibitor of the KV1.5 channel by Sanofi‐Aventis (Frankfurt, Germany).

Standard versus atrial fibrillation-specific management strategy (SAFETY) to reduce recurrent admission and prolong survival: pragmatic, multicentre, randomised controlled trial. Finally, our results confirmed the role of TASK‐1 as a promising drug target in AF and might therefore promote the translation of a novel, mechanism‐based antiarrhythmic paradigm into clinical practice. However, clinical management of patients with AF is currently guided by stroke risk parameters, AF pattern, and symptoms. Larissa Fabritz and Eduard Guasch: *These authors are joint first authors. A simplified left atrial geometry consisting of a 2‐dimensional spherical surface with a diameter of 5 cm and 5 orifices representing the 4 pulmonary veins and the mitral valve (see Figure 6D, black spheres) was employed. contributed equally to this Consensus Statement. Therefore, epicardial adipose tissue could be an important health modifier for AF. The pharmacologic sensitivity of porcine and human TASK‐1 currents to A293 was similar. After drug exposure, no clinical adverse effects were observed over a period of 3 to 5 days. 4, 123–133 (2011). Pharmacologic cardioversion with A293 yielded cardioversion times of 177±63 seconds, differing significantly from that of the control group (P=0.0034, Kruskal–Wallis test) as visualized in Figure 5C.

In the human heart, TASK‐1 channels are specifically expressed in the atria, whereas ventricular TASK‐1 expression levels are virtually negligible.10, 12, 13 Real‐time quantitative real‐time polymerase chain reaction experiments showed that subcompartment‐specific patterns of KCNK3 mRNA levels in the porcine heart are similar to expression patterns in the human heart. AF has a strong familial component. However, neither vitamin K antagonist anticoagulant therapies, nor the non-vitamin-K antagonist oral anticoagulants, such as apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban, or rivaroxaban, have been sufficiently tested in patients with severe chronic kidney disease to suggest safe use at present87,88. The proposed AF types were: monogenic AF, focally induced AF, postoperative AF, valvular AF, AF in the elderly, polygenic AF, and unclassified AF45,46. Am. It was predicted that the number of patients with AF will significantly rise in our aging population.2 Despite the epidemiologic and individual relevance of AF, current pharmacologic, interventional, or surgical therapeutic strategies show suboptimal effectiveness and frequently cause severe adverse events.3 Currently, safe and effective management of AF remains an unmet medical need. Glob. It remains speculative whether this slight elevation of the atrial TASK‐1 currents may be linked to the underlying atrial cardiomyopathy, as patients that underwent open heart surgery due to ischemic or valvular heart disease were compared with young and healthy pigs. , Institute for Experimental Cardiovascular Medicine, , University Heart Center Freiburg, , Bad Krozingen, , Germany. Comparison of the current approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) management, which is disconnected from the established insights into AF pathophysiology, and the proposed approach to AF management in which the major changes leading to AF will lead to a classification of patients with AF and provide a basis for personalized prevention and management. At present, a disconnect exists between the known mechanisms of atrial fibrillation (AF), and the current management of AF, which is based on a useful, but weak, estimation scheme of the risk of stroke and on AF duration and symptoms (see the figure).

Unstructured management of patients with AF sharply contrasts with our detailed, although incomplete, knowledge of the mechanisms that cause AF and its complications. 66, 1–11 (2015).
