Amrit Lota Circulation Royal Brompton and Harefield NHLI CVGenomics British Heart Foundation AJ Myocarditis UK Brilliant work! Well done 👏 Too often patients are forced into the wrong diagnostic pigeonhole cardiomyopathy vs myocarditis. Very important to understand the overlap and multi-hit model or hot inflammatory episodes in cardiomyopathy. Important study!
Fantastic work Amrit Lota and team 👏👏👏 this highlights the importance of considering genetic testing in patients with #myocarditis #GeneChat #cardiogen
#SmallButMighty indeed we are! Our latest #myocarditis #research with Royal Brompton and Harefield being featured on American Heart Association landing page. This incredible achievement just proves what can be done when you are determined to #useheart to draw attention to the rare stuff! #WorldHeartDay
🧬1 in 13 patients presenting with acute myocarditis had an underlying variant in a gene robustly linked to DCM or ACM that would be reported as 'likely pathogenic' in a patient with cardiomyopathy🫀 Read more about our study here, and 🔓 Circulation: ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…
New research from the Cardiovascular Genomics and Precision Medicine group led by James Ware has shown that one in 13 people who get myocarditis carry genetic variants that make them more vulnerable to the condition. Find out more 👇 ow.ly/9Az850L0AEq
