Abstract excerpt
Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a debilitating disease characterized by impaired ventricular filling, reduced ventricular volumes, and severe diastolic dysfunction. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by ventricular hypertrophy and heightened risk of premature sudden cardiac death. These cardiomyopathies can result from mutations in the same gene that encodes for cardiac troponin I (cTnI)....
