Unusual association of ST-T abnormalities, myocarditis and cardiomyopathy with H₁N₁ influenza in pregnancy: two case reports and review of the literature [PDF]

, 2011
Introduction Myocarditis is rarely reported as an extra-pulmonary manifestation of influenza while pregnancy is a rare cause of cardiomyopathy. Pregnancy was identified as a major risk factor for increased mortality and morbidity due to H1N1 influenza in

Lack of Bridge to Recovery in Pediatric Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Left Ventricular Noncompaction

Annals of Thoracic Surgery Short Reports
Background: This study assessed the possibility of a bridge to recovery using the Berlin Heart EXCOR and the histologic characteristics of pediatric patients with dilated cardiomyopathy accompanied by a left ventricular noncompaction phenotype.

Familial Dilated Cardiomyopathy [PDF]

New England Journal of Medicine, 1992
Advances in human genome sequencing have re-invigorated genetics studies of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), facilitating genetic testing and clinical applications. With a range of genetic testing options now available, new challenges arise for data interpretation and identifying single pathogenic variants from the many thousands of rare variants present ...

Integrated analysis reveals the dysfunction of intercellular communication and metabolic signals in dilated cardiomyopathy

Heliyon
Aims: Dilated cardiomyopathy refers to a heart muscle condition characterized by structural and functional irregularities in the myocardium that are not related to ischemia. Due to diverse etiologies such as genetic mutations, infections, and exposure to

Innate immune activation in experimental autoimmune myocarditis [PDF]

, 2007
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a leading cause of heart failure and frequently results from postinfectious autoimmunity. Its pathophysiology is modeled by experimental autoimmune myocarditis (EAM), a CD4+ T-cell mediated murine model of ...

Prospective Evaluation of the Utility of Whole Exome Sequencing in Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
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 ...

Extracellular Vesicles Modulation by an Adiponectin Receptor Agonist Provides Cardioprotection for Myocardial Ischemic Injury

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that ALY688, a drug mimicking the heart‐protective hormone adiponectin, reduces myocardial ischemia injury. ALY688 increases the production of extracellular vesicles, which carry protective cargo including adiponectin itself.

Cardiomyopathy, familial dilated [PDF]

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2006
AbstractDilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a heart muscle disease characterized by ventricular dilatation and impaired systolic function. Patients with DCM suffer from heart failure, arrhythmia, and are at risk of premature death. DCM has a prevalence of one case out of 2500 individuals with an incidence of 7/100,000/year (but may be under diagnosed).
