Researchers identify possible cause of deaths from sudden cardiac arrests
India, March 5 -- Researchers found a reduction in levels of protein integrin ?1D led to abnormal heart rhythms
Scientists have linked the loss of a particular protein to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmia), possibly leading to identifying a cause for sudden cardiac arrests.
Researchers in China and the United States compared cellular proteins from the hearts of four patients of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (AVRC) with those in healthy hearts, according to a study published in journal Circulation on March 3, 2020.
