Exome Sequencing Highlights a Potential Role for Concealed Cardiomyopathies in Youthful Sudden Cardiac Death

2021-12-24

Abstract excerpt

Background: Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) and sudden unexplained death (SUD) are feared sequelae of many genetic heart diseases. In rare circumstances, pathogenic variants in cardiomyopathy-susceptibility genes may result in electrical instability leading to SCA/SUD before any structural manifestations of underlying cardiomyopathy are evident. Methods: Collectively, 38 unexplained SCA survivors (21 males; mean age a...
