10 Nov 2024
Abstract excerpt
Background: MYH6 variants are the most well-known genetic risk factor (10%) for hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS) and are associated with decreased cardiac transplant-free survival. MYH6 encodes for α-myosin heavy chain (α-MHC), a contractile protein expressed in the neonatal atria. We therefore assessed atrial function in HLHS patients with MYH6 variants. Methods: We performed a retrospective, blinded...
