Heart failure & cardiomyopathies

Transcriptomic and Proteomic Profiling Shows Dysregulated Immune and Metabolic Pathways in Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart FailPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

This integrated transcriptomic and proteomic study of myocardial tissue and plasma from patients with ACM compared with those with DCM and healthy controls, identified key dysregulated pathways, involving immune response, inflammation and oxidative and mitochondrial stress.

Study context

Population
Patients with arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) or dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and healthy controls; myocardial tissue and plasman = 10/group
Participants
10 / 10 / 10
Comparison
ACM vs DCM vs healthy controls
  • ACMn = 10
  • DCMn = 10
  • Healthy controlsn = 10reference
Outcome
Myocardial transcriptome and proteome in ACM; detectability of key molecules in plasma and tissue
