Methods And Results: A total of 92 consecutive patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM with peak left ventricular outflow tract gradients of ≥30 mm Hg at rest or with provocation who were maintained on disopyramide for ≥5 years at 2 dedicated HCM centers were included: 92 patients; mean age, 62.5 years; 54% women; treated with disopyramide for median 7.

Background: Sengers syndrome is an autosomal recessive mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome characterized by hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, congenital cataracts, skeletal myopathy, exercise intolerance, and lactic acidosis. Dysfunction of acylglycerol kinase (AGK) is responsible for the disease, and several AGK gene variants have been reported.
Methods: We employed a comprehensive genomic analysis approach, including whole-genome sequencing and RNA sequencing, combined with various bioinformatics tools.

Background: People living with HIV (PLWH) have a higher prevalence of diastolic dysfunction and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in cross-sectional studies. Longitudinal data are lacking, especially from Africa.
Objectives: The aim was to examine: 1) the incidence of diastolic dysfunction in PLWH compared to community controls in Tanzania; 2) the progression of diastolic function and LVH in PLWH after antiretroviral therapy initiation; and 3) traditional, endemic, and HIV-specific risk factors for diastolic function and LVH.

Background: The 'univentricular' heart encompasses a variety of congenital cardiac defects characterized by a single functional ventricle and an underdeveloped ventricular chamber. Surgical intervention, typically in infancy or childhood, aims to regulate pulmonary blood flow volume. In adulthood, untreated patients may experience limitations in physical activity and elevated morbidity due to persistent cyanosis and arrhythmias, notably after the Fontan procedure.
