Journal ArticleDOI

Atlas of the clinical genetics of human dilated cardiomyopathy

TL;DR: This is to the authors' knowledge, the first study that comprehensively investigated the genetics of DCM in a large-scale cohort and across a broad gene panel of the known DCM genes and underline the high analytical quality and feasibility of Next-Generation Sequencing in clinical genetic diagnostics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term outcome and risk stratification in dilated cardiolaminopathies.

TL;DR: Dilated cardiomyopathies caused by LMNA gene defects are highly penetrant, adult onset, malignant diseases characterized by a high rate of heart failure and life-threatening arrhythmias, predicted by New York Heart Association functional class, competitive sport activity, and type of mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interventricular and intraventricular dyssynchrony are common in heart failure patients, regardless of QRS duration

TL;DR: A substantial proportion of heart failure patients with a slightly prolonged QRS or even with normal conduction may exhibit ventricular dyssynchrony, and both standard echocardiography and tissue Doppler imaging are necessary to describe the entire spectrum of mechanical abnormalities due to dyss synchrony.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prognostic relevance of the echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular function in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension.

TL;DR: A comprehensive echocardiographic assessment of RV systolic and diastolic function based on TAPSE, left ventricular diastolics eccentricity index and degree of tricuspid regurgitation allows an accurate prognostic stratification of patients with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left Ventricular Noncompaction : A Distinct Genetic Cardiomyopathy?

TL;DR: The prevalence of LVNC in healthy athletes, its possible reversibility, and increasing diagnosis in healthy subjects suggests cautious use of the term LVNC cardiomyopathy, which describes the morphology but not the functional profile of the cardiopathy.
