Abstract excerpt
The progression from myocardial hypertrophy to heart failure is a complex process, involving genetic and environmental factors. Elucidating the genetic components contributing to heart failure has been difficult, largely because of the heterogeneity of human populations. We have employed a strategy to map genetic loci that modify the heart failure phenotype in a transgenic mouse model of cardiomyopathy caused by...
