The findings could have an impact on the tests and measurements that physicians rely on to diagnose and treat two heart conditions:
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, in which the heart muscle becomes abnormally thick, and non-ischemic dilated
cardiomyopathy, in which the heart's ability to pump blood decreases
as the organ's main pumping chamber, the left ventricle, is enlarged and its muscle thinned.
For extended modules, many different combinations of perturbed genes could incapacitate the module,
as a result of which mutations in different genes will appear to lead to the same phenotype (e.g.,
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy).
We also aim, in the model of cardiomyocyte, decipher implication of mutations identified in
cardiomyopathies such
as inherited
hypertrophic cardiomyopathies (HCM), Atrial fibrillation (AF) or Arrhythmogenic right ventricular
cardiomyopathy (ARVC).

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease where the heart enlarges
as a result of the cardiac muscle becoming thicker and bigger.
Purpose of the Study: In human heart disease, traceable substances in the blood, referred to
as biomarkers, are used to assess severity of a common heart disease called
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).

I mentioned earlier that veterinarians believe that the underlying cause of
hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (and perhaps the other
cardiomyopathies as well) is a genetic defect in genes that direct how the heart muscle is constructed.
Feline
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) is probably inherited in certain breeds such
as the Maine Coon and Ragdoll.
Since systemic hypertension is also a cause for thickening of the left ventricle, blood pressure measurement is required to distinguish hypertension from primary
