Cellular and molecular mechanisms? Henning Bundgaard The Heart Center Rigshospitalet
The inherited cardiac diseases • Cardiomyopathies: Hypertrophic, dilated, idiopathic restrictive and arrhythmogenic right ventricle cardiomyopathy, non-compaction, muscular dystrophies • Channelopathies: Long QT syndrome, Brugada syndrome, Catecholaminergic polymorf VT • Ischaemic heart disease: Premature IHD, familial hypercholesterolemia • Storage diseases: Hereditary hemochromatosis, familial amyloidosis, Fabry disease • Others: Pulmonary arterial hypertension, Marfan syndrome • Sudden cardiac death: • +…+…+…

Sammenfatning • Med genetikken – og dermed molekylærbiologien - tager vi et dybt spadestik ned i de normale og de patologiske mekanismer i cellen – vidtgående ukendt land • Vi kan se frem til nye ”tailored” og revolutionerende behandlingsmuligheder baseret på molekylærbiologien • Vi har umådeligt meget at lære endnu
