Genetic Basis of Childhood Cardiomyopathy

心肌病(心肌问题)是最常见的遗传性心脏疾病，是一个重要的临床问题。这对儿童及其家庭的临床和心理社会都有重大影响。这项拟议的研究将提高我们对儿童心肌病的临床和遗传学基础，以及遗传因素如何影响心力衰竭、移植和猝死等临床结果的理解。

Cardiomyopathies (heart muscle problems) are the most common inherited heart conditions and represent an important clinical problem. The clinical and psychosocial impact on both the children and their families is significant. The proposed research will improve our understanding of the clinical and genetic basis of childhood cardiomyopathies, and how genetic factors may influence the development, progression, and clinical outcome, including heart failure, transplantation, and sudden death.
