Researchers have identified a new mutation that leads to the cardiac disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM). They assessed the effect of this mutation on heart muscle cells and obtained new ...

SAN FRANCISCO — The Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) has released their first-ever set of comprehensive recommendations on the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. In this consensus ...

Ametabolic biomarker in an inherited heart disorder called arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy could predict the progression of disease, which in some cases has no detectable symptoms and can result in ...

Researchers have used advanced sequencing technology to better understand the heart disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, in which heart muscle tissue is replaced by fat cells. Using explanted human ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy was first reported as the partial replacement of the right ventricular myocardium by fat or fibrous tissue. In 1965, researchers described the ...

In a recent study published in Nature Cardiovascular Research, a group of researchers evaluated the effectiveness of adeno-associated virus (AAV)-mediated Plakophilin 2 (PKP2) delivery in treating ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Strength training may be as safe as sedentary behavior for people with genetic risk for ventricular arrhythmia.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC5) is a fatal genetic disease for which there is unfortunately no cure. Now, scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones ...

Mutations in genes that form the desmosome are the most common cause of the cardiac disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), which affects one in 2000 to 5000 people worldwide. Researchers from ...
