Prevalence of Subclinical Left Ventricular Dysfunction Evaluated by Global Longitudinal Strain in Female Carriers of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscular disease genetically linked to the DMD gene, which encodes dystrophin, a protein that is crucial for the integrity of skeletal muscle and myocytes. This condition follows an X-linked inheritance pattern. Female carriers are typically asymptomatic; however, they may develop cardiomyopathy, making screening for structural heart disease advisable. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the prevalence of subclinical left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, defined by reduced global longitudinal strain (GLS), in asymptomatic female [...] Abstract Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a muscular disease genetically linked to the DMD gene, which encodes dystrophin, a protein that is crucial for the integrity of skeletal muscle and myocytes.

Pathogenic BAG3 Variant in Peripartum Cardiomyopathy and Significant Family History of Sudden Death
The BAG3 gene encodes the BAG3 protein, a multifunctional chaperone involved in proteostasis and protection of cardiomyocytes. Pathogenic BAG3 variants have previously been associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), including peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM). We present the case of a woman who complained of palpitations during the late postpartum period and was diagnosed with left ventricular dysfunction; genetic testing revealed a pathogenic variant of the BAG3 gene. Several cases of sudden death were noted in her family history. After 3 years [...] Abstract The BAG3 gene encodes the BAG3 protein, a multifunctional chaperone involved in proteostasis and protection of cardiomyocytes.
