Desmoplakin Cardiomyopathy: Understanding DSP-Type ARVC

Explore Dr. Alessio Gasperetti's research on Desmoplakin (DSP) Cardiomyopathy in this 14-minute video from Johns Hopkins Medicine. Learn about the importance of Desmoplakin, its role in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), and the collaborative efforts to better define DSP-type ARVC. Discover key findings from literature and data analysis, understand the Desmoplakin network, and gain insights into patient involvement. Delve into risk stratification, including low and high-risk factors, left-side involvement, and event rates. Examine the impact of exercise and pregnancy on DSP cardiomyopathy. Understand the development of a risk score and future research goals in this informative presentation on a crucial aspect of cardiovascular genetics.
