Analysis of genetic variations associated with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy

Cardiomyopathy accounts for 20-30% of acute heart failure cases in adult Africans. Several types of cardiomyopathy have been identified; this study focused primarily on the genetic causes of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Many genes are implicated in ARVC pathogenesis, but m...
