Combined Right Ventricular Preload and Afterload Challenge Induces Contractile Dysfunction and Ventricular Arrhythmia in an Age-dependent Manner in Isolated Hearts of Dystrophin-deficient Mice
2023-11-16
Abstract excerpt
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive myopathy due to mutations in the dystrophin gene. Diaphragmatic weakness in DMD causes restrictive lung disease and excessive afterload on the right ventricle (RV). Thus, RV dysfunction in DMD develops early in disease progression. Herein, we deliver a 30-minute sustained RV preload and afterload challenge to isolated hearts of wildtype (Wt) and dystrophic...
