    European Heart Journal: Genes linked to sudden cardiac death increase the risk of heart failure in patients with genetic dilated cardiomyopathy

    Scientists at the Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares (CNIC), together with cardiologists from Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro and the Spanish cardiovascular disease research network (CIBERCV), report that the new discovery makes it possible to identify high-risk patients early and refer them sooner to specialized heart failure units
