Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiac arrhythmias are common causes of death in patients with myotonic dystrophy (dystrophia myotonica [DM]). Evidence shows that atrial tachyarrhythmia is an independent risk factor for sudden death; however, the relationship is unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS: Control wild-type (Mbnl1+/+; Mbnl2+/+ ) and DM mutant (Mbnl1-/-; Mbnl2+/- ) mice were generated by crossing double heterozygous knockout...
