Heart failure is a common and devastating disorder for which there is no cure. Many conditions that make it difficult for the heart to pump blood—such as dilated cardiomyopathy and arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy—can lead to heart failure, but treatments for patients with heart failure do not take these distinct conditions into account.
Investigators from Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital set out to identify molecules and pathways that may contribute to heart failure, with the aim of informing more effective and personalized treatments.
