In the absence of contemporary, population-based epidemiological studies, estimates of the
incidence and prevalence of the inherited cardiomyopathies have been derived from …

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is an inherited heart muscle disorder, predisposing to
sudden cardiac death, particularly in young patients and athletes. Pathological features …

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder characterized by the risk of life-
threatening arrhythmias, myocardial dysfunction and fibrofatty replacement of myocardial …

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy is a rare inherited heart-muscle disease
that is a cause of sudden death in young people and athletes. Causative mutations in genes …

Background Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is an autosomal
dominant heart muscle disorder that causes arrhythmia, heart failure, and sudden death …

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a genetic disease
caused by mutations in desmosomal proteins. The phenotypic hallmark of ARVC is …

Cardiomyopathies (CMPs) are myocardial diseases in which the heart muscle is structurally
and functionally abnormal in the absence of coronary artery disease, hypertension, valvular …

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (AC) is a heart muscle disease clinically characterized by
life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and pathologically by an acquired and progressive …

OBJECTIVES: We tested the hypothesis that defective interactions between adhesion
junctions and the cytoskeleton caused by the plakoglobin mutation in Naxos disease lead to …

The structural integrity of the heart is maintained by the end-to-end connection between the
myocytes called the intercalated disc. The intercalated disc contains different junctional …
