Sudden heart failure gene discovered (Holland)

"Researchers have discovered the gene responsible for sudden heart failure among young people, the Amsterdam Medical Centre (AMC) said. In a study, the results of which will be published on the American Journal of Human Genetics website, the focus was on familiar idiopathic ventricle fibrillation, an unexplained life-threatening heart rhythm disorder. People who suffer from this disorder experience unexpected fast contractions of the muscles of the heart chamber. This blocks the heart's regular pumping function and quickly results in cardiac arrest" - 9news
