Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy thickens heart muscles, reducing functionality and increasing risk of cardiac disease and morbidity. Genetic factors are involved, but their contribution is poorly understood. We used the hypertrophic heart rat (HHR), a unique normotensive polygenic model of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure, to investigate the role of genes associated with monogenic human cardiomyopathy. We...
