Brief description Familial cardiomyopathies are an important cause of heart failure and sudden death. Understanding the precise mechanisms of how disease develops in cardiomyopathies is an important step for developing new therapeutic and prevention strategies. We plan to investigate the role of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) , an important protein which causes scar formation in the heart, in cells, mice, and humans predisposed to developing heart disease.
