Funded Activity Summary

Heart failure due to disorders of the heart’s contraction and rhythm is a major health burden for our community. Two of the most common causes of heart failure are dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) and atrial fibrillation (AF). The broad objective of DF’s research is identification of genetic variants that cause familial forms of DCM and AF, and elucidation of the pathophysiological effects of these variants. A better understanding of disease mechanisms will facilitate new approaches to diagnosis, treatment and prevention.
