EXPLORING THE 12 LEAD ECG CHARACTERISTIC OF PAEDIATRIC AND YOUNG ADULT CARRIERS OF DESMOPLAKIN GENE VARIANTS
Anno:
2024
Background and aim: The DSP gene (locus. 6p24.3) encodes desmoplakin, a quintessential desmosomal protein for cellular adhesion, particularly within cardiac tissues. DSP gene variants can cause dilated cardiomyopathy, non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) and arrhythmogenic righ ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), cardiac conditions known to trigger malignant ventricular arrhythmias and cause…
DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR NON-DILATED LEFT VENTRICULAR CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE
Anno:
2024
Background: Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) is a novel diagnostic entity defined as non-ischemic LV scarring or fatty replacement regardless of the presence of global or regional wall motion abnormalities, or isolated global LV hypokinesia without scarring. While the absence of LV dilation and systolic dysfunction are implicit, no…
