RNA Sequencing Reveals Differentially Expressed Genes in Left Ventricular Biopsies from Ischemic and Dilated Cardiomyopathy Patients

Heart failure (HF) affects more than 6 million adults in the U.S and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The majority of HF patients suffer from either ischemic (ICM) or dilated (DCM) cardiomyopathy. Little is known about the genetic alterations in DCM or ICM patients. Therefore, our aim was to characterize differentially expressed genes in left ventricular tissue from DCM and ICM patients.
