Analysis of cardiomyopathy genes in septic cardiomyopathy: tested but did't find the association with rare variants in cardiomyopathy genes present in other "acquired" cardiomyopathies. @RevEspCardiol. would be nice to see data from other groups

A novel demographic-adjusted personalised approach to measure wall thickness is an important step towards a more accurate / less biased diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Very glad to be part of this important study led by @HunainShiwani (congratulations!) & @JccmoonMoon.
🔬New in @JACCJournals: HCM diagnosis criteria show unexpected demographic bias. Study of 50,000+ hearts reveals current thresholds create 8:1 male-female ratio. Proposing demographic-adjusted thresholds to improve diagnosis🫀. @UCL_ICS @NHSBartsHealth

We analysed mitochondrial variation in cardiomyopathy patients from 100K genomes project and found the HCM causing m.4300A>G in 0.6% of (previously) genotype-"negative" HCM patients - shall we include it in the testing panels? @RobPitceathly @w_macken.

Glad to contribute to this study by @RichardB_KCL @munroe_patsy et al, going beyond imaging of volumes and mass : genetics of biventricular shape. 43 loci, 14 unreported for cardiac. Principal components of shape associate with cardiometabolic disease.
📢Hot off the press! Out latest study investigating the genetics of biventricular shape and their association with cardiovascular disease is just out @NatureComms . 👇👇👇. @munroe_patsy @alyoung62 @RichardB_KCL
