Danuta Szczesna-Cordary of UM has showed how molecular imbalances in heart muscle cells can contribute to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, a condition that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood and is the most common cause of sudden cardiac for people under 30.
“Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetically inherited heart disease,” said Szczesna-Cordary. “By investigating this potentially deadly condition on the molecular level, we can better understand the mechanisms that drive it.”
