Abstract excerpt
Several cardiac troponin I (cTnI) mutations are associated with restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) in humans. We have created transgenic mice (cTnI(193His) mice) that express the corresponding human RCM R192H mutation. Phenotype of this RCM animal model includes restrictive ventricles, biatrial enlargement and sudden cardiac death, which are similar to those observed in RCM patients carrying the same cTnI mutation....
