Abstract excerpt
β-myosin heavy chain mutations are the most frequently identified basis for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). A transgenic mouse model (αMHC(403)) has been extensively used to study various mechanistic aspects of HCM. There is general skepticism whether mouse and human disease features are similar. Herein we compare morphologic and functional characteristics, and disease evolution, in a transgenic mouse and a...
