Dear Colleagues,

 

The past decade has seen a tremendous amount of literature describing genetic triggers of cardiovascular disease. Genetic underpinnings have been reported across the spectrum of cardiology including arrhythmias, coronary artery disease, vascular disease, dyslipidemia, and myocardial dysfunction. The Special Issue “Novel Gene Discovery in Cardiomyopathy” will collect high-quality original research papers and comprehensive reviews on recent advances in our understanding of the genetics that drive cardiomyopathy phenotypes. These findings have important implications as they help us to understand mechanisms and potential targets for therapy. Furthermore, the understanding of heritable disease facilitates the screening of appropriate at-risk family members. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
● Dilated cardiomyopathy
● Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
● Restrictive cardiomyopathy
● Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy
● Non-compaction cardiomyopathy
● Cardiomyopathies associated with rare disorders or syndromic disease
Manuscripts submitted to the Special Issue will be subjected to stringent selection criteria to ensure the privileged position of accepted contributions. Those that fail to pass the selection will be considered for publication in RCM as regular contributions.
