THE FAMILIAL CARDIOMYOPATHY REGISTRY

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项研究的广泛和长期目标是研究和了解可能导致心力衰竭和猝死的遗传(遗传)因素。研究的特定人类疾病是家族性心肌病。我们将分析引起家族性心肌病(扩张型、肥厚型和右室型)的临床特征、演变和基因缺陷，以提高对这些疾病的临床处理、预防和遗传咨询。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The broad, long-term goal of this study is to study and understand the genetic (inherited) factors that can cause heart failure and sudden death. The specific human diseases studied are familial cardiomyopathies. We will analyze the clinical features, the evolution and gene defects causing familial cardiomyopathies (dilated, hypertrophic and right ventricular) to improve the clinical management, prevention and genetic counseling of this diseases.
