Dr Hadden: DCM genetic causes;
Titin and lamin A/C most common
May present with heart failure, arrhythmia, sudden cardiac death.
Sudden death may occur before the person presents with heart failure so the autopsy is key to identify the cause.

Dr Rob Hadden now taking us through interpreting DCM at autopsy and when to attribute death to DCM. Beginning with an excellent overview of the ultra structure of cardiac myocytes, important in understanding how DCM affects the myocytes and causes disease
