Telocytes (TCs) form a cardiac network of interstitial cells. Our previous studies have shown
that TCs are involved in heterocellular contacts with cardiomyocytes and cardiac …

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in both humans and dogs. Dilated
cardiomyopathy (DCM) accounts for a large number of these cases, reported to be the third …

Background—The pathogenic phospholamban R14del mutation causes dilated and
arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies and is associated with an increased risk …

Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases with various etiologies. We
focused on three genetically determined cardiomyopathies: hypertrophic (HCM), dilated …

Epidemiologic studies clearly document the public health burden of sudden unexpected
death in epilepsy (SUDEP). Clinical and experimental studies have uncovered dynamic …

Simple Summary Heart disease is a leading cause of death for both humans and dogs.
Inherited heart diseases, including dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), account for a proportion …

Aims Descriptive and genetic studies suggest that relatives of sudden cardiac death (SCD)
victims have an increased risk of several cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Given the severe …

Cardiomyopathies are a leading cause of heart failure and are often caused by mutations in
sarcomeric genes, resulting in contractile dysfunction and cellular damage. This may …

Dominant mutations in the MYH7 and MYBPC3 genes are common causes of inherited
cardiomyopathies, which often demonstrate variable phenotypic expression and incomplete …

In the global human population, the leading cause of non-communicable death is
cardiovascular disease. It is predicted that by 2030, deaths attributable to cardiovascular …
