Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of advanced heart failure requiring a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or heart transplantation. Although implantation of an LVAD ameliorates end-organ dysfunction and improves exercise tolerance, right heart failure (RHF) after LVAD implantation remains a major unsolved problem. 1 The incidence of RHF in the late phase after LVAD implantation has been reported to be 8-11% and associated with a poor prognosis. 2 Therefore, it is important to predict the development of late RHF after LVAD implantation. We hypothesized that genetic factors are involved in the development of late RHF after LVAD implantation and examined whether Lamin A/C (LMNA) mutations, which cause DCM with a severe phenotype, 3 are associated with late RHF and poor prognosis after LVAD implantation.Among DCM patients who received LVAD implantation as a bridge to transplantation at the University of Tokyo Hospital from 2012 to 2019, we enrolled 92 individuals who underwent genetic analysis. Written informed consent was obtained from all patients by the protocol approved by the ethics committee. Using a comprehensive cardiomyopathy gene panel that targeted the exons and splicing regions of over 100 cardiomyopathy-related genes, we conducted a genomic analysis of 91 patients with DCM. The remaining patient was defined as having pathogenic mutations in the LMNA gene by Sanger sequencing. The pathogenicity of variants was evaluated according to American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG) guidelines. 4
