Transgenic rat hearts expressing a human cardiac troponin T deletion reveal diastolic dysfunction and ventricular arrhythmias
1 Aug 2000
Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) due to mutations of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) is associated with a high frequency of sudden death even in the absence of cardiac hypertrophy. To investigate the causal relationship of cTnT mutations and this particular phenotype, we sought to establish a transgenic rat model for the disease. METHODS: Transgenic rats were generated expressing human wild-type...
