Extracellular Matrix From Hypertrophic Myocardium Provokes Impaired Twitch Dynamics in Healthy Cardiomyocytes

Summary: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is often caused by single sarcomeric gene mutations that affect muscle contraction. Pharmacological correction of mutation effects prevents but does not reverse disease in mouse models. Suspecting that diseased extracellular matrix is to blame, we obtained...
