PO-06-052 THE OCCURRENCE OF VENTRICULAR SEPTAL SCARRING, HEART FAILURE, AND GENETIC VARIANTS IN PATIENTS WITH NON-ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY AND ARRHYTHMIA: RESULTS FROM THE PHOENIX CARDIAC GENETIC REGISTRY (PCGR).

HeartRhythm

Genetic predisposition to ventricular scarring is associated with heart failure and ventricular arrhythmia. Although many pathogenic variants have been shown to predispose patients to poor outcomes, the impact of many VUS remains uncharacterized.

Reduced Ejection Fraction in Elite Endurance Athletes: Clinical and Genetic Overlap With Dilated Cardiomyopathy

Circulation

BACKGROUND:Exercise-induced cardiac remodeling can be profound, resulting in clinical overlap with dilated cardiomyopathy, yet the significance of reduced ejection fraction (EF) in athletes is unclear. During follow-up, no athletes developed symptomatic heart failure or arrhythmias.
