Abstract excerpt
The mechanism(s) by which mutations in sarcomeric proteins cause hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) remains unknown. A leading hypothesis proposes that mutant sarcomeric proteins impair cardiac myocyte contractility, providing an impetus for compensatory hypertrophy. To test this hypothesis, we de...
