Article Synopsis
- Desmoplakin cardiomyopathy is a recently defined heart condition causing left ventricular dysfunction, often leading to inflammation, fibrosis, and arrhythmias.
- A case study highlights a 46-year-old woman with this condition, who experienced multiple cardiac arrests due to a new variant in the desmoplakin gene and showed little improvement after receiving immunosuppressive treatment.
- The condition should be included in the evaluation of inflammatory heart diseases, and while some patients may benefit from immunosuppressive therapy, its effectiveness remains largely unknown.
