The research groups of Jeroen Bakkers (Hubrecht Institute/UMC Utrecht) and Toon van Veen (UMC Utrecht) report the first patient-specific model for the heart disease arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) ...

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 ...

RBM20 truncating variants ( RBM20 tvs) appear to contribute to arrhythmogenic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) but with ...

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 ...

The combination of ventricular tachycardia of right ventricular origin, epsilon waves on the electrocardiogram, right ventricular aneurysms and the findings of cardiovascular magnetic resonance ...

Ultrasound echocardiogram of a patient taking a test for heart diseases. Echocardiogram monitor with an image of patient’s heart. Medical ultrasound scan. Clinicians should have a high index of ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVD/C) is challenging to diagnose because of nonspecific findings, particularly in the early phases of the disease. Clinical diagnosis is ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a life threatening genetic heart condition that causes problems with the muscle tissue around your heart’s right ventricle. Arrhythmogenic right ...

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 ...

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 ...
