Cardiac FKBP12.6 overexpression protects against triggered ventricular tachycardia in pressure overloaded mouse hearts

Alterations in RyR2 function have been proposed as a major pathophysiological mechanism of arrhythmias and heart failure (HF). Cardiac FKBP12.6 overexpression protects against myocardial infarction-induced HF and catecholamine-promoted ventricular arrhythmias. We tested the hypothesis that FKBP12.6...

Zusammenfassung:Alterations in RyR2 function have been proposed as a major pathophysiological mechanism of arrhythmias and heart failure (HF). Cardiac FKBP12.6 overexpression protects against myocardial infarction-induced HF and catecholamine-promoted ventricular arrhythmias. We tested the hypothesis that FKBP12.6 overexpression protects against maladaptive LVH and triggered ventricular arrhythmias following transverse aorta constriction (TAC) in the mouse. The TAC-associated mortality rate was significantly lower in male transgenic (DT) than in Ctr mice ( p
