The main inherited cardiac arrhythmias are long QT syndrome, short QT syndrome,
catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia and Brugada syndrome. These rare …

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a genetic disorder characterized by the risk of life-
threatening arrhythmias, myocardial dysfunction and fibrofatty replacement of myocardial …

Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is an arrhythmogenic disorder of the myocardium
not secondary to ischemic, hypertensive, or valvular heart disease. ACM incorporates a …

The stromal‐derived factor 1α/chemokine receptor 4 (SDF‐1α/CXCR4) axis contributes to
myocardial protection after myocardial infarction (MI) by recruiting endogenous stem cells …

The intercalated disc (ID) is a highly specialized structure that connects cardiomyocytes via
