Liquid metal–based stretchable electronics offer high electrical performance and seamless integration with deformable systems but face challenges in achieving scalable, high-resolution patterning. In this work, we present a method for micropatterning liquid metal particle (LMP) films with feature sizes as small as 5 micrometers by integrating electrostatically enabled colloidal self-assembly and microtransfer printing. The resulting cold-welded LMP micropatterns exhibit exceptional electromechanical properties, high conductivity (2.4 × 10 ⁶ siemens per meter), stretchability (more than 1200%), and strain- and pressure-insensitive resistance, owing to their multiscale and dynamic morphologies. Demonstrations in highly stretchable strain sensors and cardiac mapping devices highlight the capabilities of this method for creating high-performance, highly stretchable electronic systems. Notably, balloon catheter–integrated LMP microelectrode arrays show low impedance under extreme deformations and enable high-resolution endocardial electrogram mapping inside the human heart. This method expands the potential of liquid metal–based stretchable electronics for a wide range of applications, including implantable biomedical devices and soft robotics.

Transparent microelectrode arrays (MEAs) that allow multimodal investigation of the spatiotemporal cardiac characteristics are important in studying and treating heart disease. Existing implantable devices, however, are designed to support chronic operational lifetimes and require surgical extraction when they malfunction or are no longer needed. Meanwhile, bioresorbable systems that can self-eliminate after performing temporary functions are increasingly attractive because they avoid the costs/risks of surgical extraction. We report the design, fabrication, characterization, and validation of a soft, fully bioresorbable, and transparent MEA platform for bidirectional cardiac interfacing over a clinically relevant period. The MEA provides multiparametric electrical/optical mapping of cardiac dynamics and on-demand site-specific pacing to investigate and treat cardiac dysfunctions in rat and human heart models. The bioresorption dynamics and biocompatibility are investigated. The device designs serve as the basis for bioresorbable cardiac technologies for potential postsurgical monitoring and treating temporary patient pathological conditions in certain clinical scenarios, such as myocardial infarction, ischemia, and transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Ryanodine receptor 2 hyperactivity is observed in structural heart diseases caused by ischemia or heart failure. It causes abnormal calcium leaks, which can trigger arrhythmias. To prevent arrhythmias, we applied dantrolene in human hearts ex vivo. Isoproterenol and caffeine treatment increased PVC incidence, whereas dantrolene reduced the PVC burden. Dantrolene treatment suppresses triggers and reverses arrhythmogenic substrates and could be a novel antiarrhythmic therapy in patients with structural heart disease.

Introduction: The aim of this study is to assess the influence of gene CYP2C19, CYP3A4, CYP3A5 and ABCB1 polymorphisms on clopidogrel antiplatelet activity, rivaroxaban concentration equilibrium, and clinical outcomes among patients with acute coronary syndrome and non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Methods: In the multicenter prospective registry study of the efficacy and safety of a combined antithrombotic therapy 103 patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation both undergoing or not a percutaneous coronary intervention were enrolled. The trial assessed the primary outcomes (major bleeding, in-hospital death, cardiovascular death, stroke ransient ischaemic attack, death/renal insufficiency) and secondary outcomes (platelet reactivity units (PRU), rivaroxaban concentration). Results: For none of the clinical outcomes when combined with other covariates, the carriership of polymorphisms CYP3A5*3 rs776746, CYP2C19*2 rs4244285;*17 rs12248560, ABCB1 3435 C>T, ABCB1 rs4148738 was significant. None of the markers under study (CYP3A5*3 rs776746, CYP2C19*2 rs4244285, *17 rs12248560, ABCB1 3435 C>T, ABCB1 rs4148738) has proven to affect rivaroxaban equilibrium concentration in blood plasma among patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome. Conclusion: In situations of double or triple antithrombotic rivaroxaban and clopidogrel therapy among patients with atrial fibrillation and acute coronary syndrome, the genetic factors associated with bleeding complications risk (CYP2C19*17) may prove to be clinically relevant.

Objectives: For revealing the peculiarities of the drug–drug interaction of rivaroxaban (substrate CYP3A4 and P-gp) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) (verapamil – inhibitor CYP3A4 and P-gp and amlodipine – substrate CYP3A4) in patients 80 years and older with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NAF) we studied 128 patients. Methods: All patients were divided into groups depending on the therapy taken: the 1st – rivaroxaban + amlodipine (n=51), the 2nd – rivaroxaban + verapamil (n=30), the control group – rivaroxaban without CCBs (n=47). A trough steady-state plasma concentration (C _min,ss) of rivaroxaban, prothrombin time (PT) in the blood plasma and the event of clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding were assessed for each patient. Results: Patient in group 2 had higher C _min,ss of rivaroxaban, PT and CRNM than subjects in the control group (Me 73.8 [50.6–108.8] ng/mL vs. 40.5 [25.6–74.3] ng/mL; Me 14.8 [13.4–17.3] s vs. 13.8 [12.6–14.4] s; 34% vs. 13%, respectively, p0.05 for all). Conclusions: In patients ≥80 years with NAF, the use of rivaroxaban in combination with verapamil may not be safe and can lead to CRNM bleeding.

Aim: The aim of this study is to assess 6 micro-RNAs: miR-126, miR-223, miR-150, miR-29, miR-34, miR-142 as potential biomarkers for P2Y12- inhibitors resistance prediction. Methods: Eighty patients with an acute coronary syndrome undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention treated in a multidisciplinary hospital in Moscow with DAPT (either with ticagrelor, n=45, or clopidogrel, n=35) were enrolled. The carriership of 6 clinically relevant polymorphisms for ticagrelor and 17 for clopidogrel was detected. Expression levels of six prospective miRNAs were measured. The activity of CYP3A4 isoenzyme was measured as the ratio of the concentrations of cortisol and 6β-hydroxycortisol. Results: The polymorphisms of the P2Y12-inhibitors ADME genes that demonstrated statistically significant connection with miRNA expression levels are as follows: P2Y12R (A>G, rs3732759) and miR-29 (p=0.017), miR-34 (p=0.003); CYP2C19*17 (C-806T, rs1224856) and miR-142 (p=0.012); PON1 (Q192R, rs662) and miR-29 (p=0.004), ABCG2 (G>T, rs2231142) and miR-34 (p=0.007). MiRNAs expression levels showed connection with the results of the platelet reactivity assessment by utilizing VerifyNow assay (“Instrumentation laboratory”, MA, US). MiR-126 (β coefficient=− 0.076, SE=0.032, p=0.021), miR-223 (β coefficient=− 0.089, SE=0.041, p=0.032), miR-29 (β coefficient=− 0.042, SE=0.018, p=0.026), miR-142 (β coefficient=− 0.072, SE=0.026, p=0.008) have the potential to be used as biomarkers and may substitute platelet reactivity testing. Conclusion: This study has revealed new biomarkers for P2Y12-inhibitors resistance testing: miR-29, miR-34, miR-126, miR-142, miR-223.
