Article Synopsis
  • Arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy (ALVC) is a serious heart condition linked to dangerous heart rhythms, and it's increasingly recognized for its impact on the left ventricle, with diagnosis relying on cardiac imaging and genetic testing.
  • A case study involved a 28-year-old woman and her uncle, both with heart issues; they underwent extensive testing that revealed abnormalities consistent with ALVC, including reduced heart function and genetic mutations.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for managing ALVC to prevent sudden cardiac death, with treatment options potentially including implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) based on genetic findings and patient discussions about care plans.*

Over the years, increasing evidence has shown that copy number variations (CNVs) play an important role in the pathogenesis and prognosis of Colorectal Cancer (CRC). Colorectal adenomas are highly prevalent lesions, but only 5% of these adenomas ever progress to carcinoma. This review summarizes the different CNVs associated with adenoma-carcinoma CRC progression and with CRC staging.
