- Although bicuspid aortic valve occurs in an estimated 1% of adults and mitral valve prolapse in an estimated 5% of adults, occurrence of the 2 in the same patient is infrequent. During examination of operatively excised ...
- Usefulness of Immunostaining for Plakoglobin as a Diagnostic Marker of Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy
[作者:Munkholm, J; Christensen, AH; Svendsen, JH; Andersen, CB,期刊:American Journal of Cardiology, 页码:272-275 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2012年109-2]
- The clinical diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is often challenging due to phenotypic variation, reduced/age-related penetrance, and lack of a diagnostic test. A single report has sugges...
