Background-The role of the giant protein titin in patients with heart failure is not well established. We investigated titin expression in patients with end-stage heart failure resulting from nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, in particular as it relates to left ventricular (LV) myocardial stiffness and LV function.Methods and Results-SDS-agarose gels revealed small N2B (stiff) and large N2BA ( compliant) cardiac titin isoforms with a mean N2BA: N2B expression ratio that was significantly (P
