Cardiomyopathies include several heart muscle diseases that are often incompletely defined in terms of cause and pathway and often poorly responsive to the proposed treatment. Even in largely recognized entities such as myocarditis, the adoption of the effective therapy is still debated and the agents involved are being increasingly identified by the new-generation sequencing technique. In fact, the morphomolecular investigation of endomyocardial biopsy samples appears to be inevitable to obtain a personalized and most effective treatment.
Regarding the origin of cardiac electrical instability, the direct involvement of conduction tissue (CT) is recognizable in endomyocardial biopsy examination and the possibility to explore CT damage through the determination of CT main molecular complex HCN4 in the peripheral blood appears as a likely prospective option. Many rare diseases phenotyipically present as cardiomyopathies and their definition and identification are crucial for appropriate management.
Nevertheless, even the administration of the lacking molecular component (i.e., enzyme replacement therapy—ERT) can be clinically unsatisfactory. Recently, it has been shown that ERT delivery can be limited in Fabry disease cardiomyopathy by a reduced expression of mannose-6-phosphate receptor that provides its uptake at the level of cell membrane as well as its targeting into lysosomes.
The aim of the present webinar is to update the latest morpho-molecular and genetic knowledge in cardiomyopathy.
