Similar burden of rare genetic variants in ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
BackgroundThe aim of the study was to determine the prevalence of rare disease-causing variants in cardiomyopathy-associated genes in a cohort of patients with ischemic and non-ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy undergoing heart transplant.MethodsWe ...

Cardiosphere-derived cells suppress allogeneic lymphocytes by production of PGE2 acting via the EP4 receptor [PDF]
derived cells (CDCs) are a cardiac progenitor cell population, which have been shown to possess cardiac regenerative properties and can improve heart function in a variety of cardiac diseases. Studies in large animal models have predominantly focussed on

Prospective Evaluation of the Utility of Whole Exome Sequencing in Dilated Cardiomyopathy
Background Dilated cardiomyopathy may be heritable but shows extensive genetic heterogeneity. The utility of whole exome sequencing as a first‐line genetic test for patients with dilated cardiomyopathy in a contemporary “real‐world” setting has not been ...

This study unlocks the immense potential of COF@polymer nanocomposites as a multifunctional therapeutic platform for targeted drug delivery in diabetic cardiomyopathy. Abstract Diabetic cardiomyopathy, a major complication of diabetes, is strongly associated with elevated levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and reactive oxygen species (ROS). However,

Sudden Death and Left Ventricular Involvement in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an inherited heart muscle disorder characterized by myocardial fibrofatty replacement and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD).

Rabbit Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Viruses have long been recognized as important etiologic agents of heart disease in man and experimental animals1. Epidemiologic evidence suggests that between 2–5% of a virus-infected population experiences some degree of cardiac involvement2. Virus infection may result in degeneration and necrosis of myocytes by direct cytotoxicity and cause ...

The Phospholamban (PLN) R9C mutation reduces SERCA2a binding, increasing calcium recycling and baseline contractility. However, the excess of free PLN promotes pentamer formation, limiting phosphorylation and blunting β‐adrenergic signaling. Under cardiac stress, enhanced functional demands overwhelm proteostasis in PLN R9C cells, leading to misfolded ...

An upgrade on the rabbit model of anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy: shorter protocol, reduced mortality, and higher incidence of overt dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]
Current protocols of anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy in rabbits present with high premature mortality and nephrotoxicity, thus rendering them unsuitable for studies requiring long-term functional evaluation of myocardial function (e.g., stem cell ...

Mitochondrial Transplantation as a Therapeutic Strategy for Inherited Mitochondrial Diseases
Mitochondrial transplantation (MTx) offers a promising therapeutic avenue for mitochondrial diseases. This review comprehensively evaluates MTx, differentiating its feasibility for mtDNA‐ and nDNA‐based disorders. It examines its potential for genetic correction, alongside inherent limitations, technical challenges, and crucial ethical considerations ...
