From molecular defects to cardiac dysfunction: Troponin I mutations in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

Background. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited heart disease, affecting 1 in 500 people. HCM thickens the heart muscle, impairing relaxation and pumping, and increases risks of arrhythmia and sudden death. Read more
