Sustained endurance exercise in athletes, footballers and other sportspeople can lead to the development of abnormal heart rhythms.

The study, published in the leading journal  Circulation Research, found that long-term training in both horses and mice caused a reduction in key proteins, known as ion channels, that control AV node conduction. The expression and activity of the ion channels were then investigated in detail in mice that followed a program which modelled long-term exercise training to build their fitness. The mice were used to explore mechanisms underlying heart block in detail using approaches that would no...

Researchers identify heart block cause in athletes While heart block is benign for most people, it can be a precursor to more serious heart problems. 23 June, 2021 23:01 Why some endurance athletes experience a heart rhythm disturbance called heart block has been identified by researchers using animal models. The University of Manchester-led study found that long-term exercise in retired racehorses – the best available model of the athlete’s heart – and in m...

May 7, 2021 DANVILLE — The National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health, has awarded a 5-year, $3.6 million contract to Geisinger to study the role of genetic variation in cancer. Researchers from Geisinger and the NCI’s Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics (DCEG) will analyze genetic data from Geisinger’s MyCode Community Health Initiative, a precision medicine project with more than 276,000 consented participants. The work will be led by David J. Ca...
