Brief description High blood pressure (HBP) affects 1 in 3 adults. Cardiac hypertrophy (thickened heart muscles) is a common condition seen in HBP. This research seeks to study the underlying changes in electrical, structural and molecular properties of the heart that may contribute to the increased sudden death and atrial fibrillation (irregular heart rhythm) associated with both HBP and cardiac hypertrophy. The new understanding may identify new treatment targets to reduce these life-threatening conditions.
