Mitochondrial Dysfunction as Substrate for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy: A Search for New Disease Mechanisms

Abstract excerpt

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a familial heart disease, associated with ventricular arrhythmias, fibrofatty replacement of the myocardial mass and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Malignant ventricular arrhythmias and SCD largely occur in the pre-clinical phase of the disease, before overt structural changes occur. To prevent or interfere with ACM disease progression, more insight in...
