Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Mutations in the Lamin A/C gene may cause atrioventricular block, supraventricular arrhythmias, ventricular arrhythmias (VA), and dilated cardiomyopathy. We aimed to explore the predictors and the mechanisms of VA in Lamin A/C mutation-positive subjects. METHODS AND RESULTS: We included 41 Lamin A/C mutation-positive subjects. PR-interval and occurrence of VA were recorded. Left ventricular (LV) myocardial...
