Natural genetic variation of the cardiac transcriptome in non-diseased donors and patients with dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background Genetic variation is an important determinant of RNA transcription and splicing, which in turn contributes to variation in human traits, including cardiovascular diseases. Results Here we report the first in-depth survey of heart transcriptome

Immune-inflammatory concept of the pathogenesis of chronic heart failure in dogs with dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy is common in dogs. This form of cardiomyopathy is the main cause of death due to heart disease in dogs. Death can occur suddenly in clinically normal animals as a result of the progression of congestive heart failure ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is associated with dilated sinus of Valsalva: A case-control study
Background: We aimed to test the hypothesis that there is an association between hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and dilated aorta in a case-control, matched-design fashion. Methods: Of 65,843 studies done from November 2011 to December 2015, we found, after
