Cutaneous ultrastructure reveals potential biomarkers of ventricular arrhythmias in inflammatory cardiomyopathy.
Inflammatory cardiomyopathy (ICM), resulting from persistent myocardial inflammation, is associated with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias (VA). Recent studies suggested overlap between ICM-associated VA and desmosomal diseases affecting the intercalated discs (ID), which are critical for electromechanical coupl...
