Abstract excerpt
Arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy (AVC) is a frequent underlying cause for arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death especially during intense exercise. The mechanisms involved remain largely unknown. The purpose of this study was to investigate how chronic endurance exercise contributes to desmoplakin (DSP) mutation-induced AVC pathogenesis. Transgenic mice with overexpression of desmoplakin, wild-type...
