Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a major cause of advanced heart failure requiring
a left ventricular assist device (LVAD) or heart transplantation. Although implantation
of an LVAD ameliorates end-organ dysfunction and improves exercise tolerance, right
heart failure (RHF) after LVAD implantation remains a major unsolved problem.
1
The incidence of RHF in the late phase after LVAD implantation has been reported
to be 8-11% and associated with a poor prognosis.
2
Therefore, it is important to predict the development of late RHF after LVAD implantation.
We hypothesized that genetic factors are involved in the development of late RHF after
LVAD implantation and examined whether Lamin A/C (LMNA) mutations, which cause DCM with a severe phenotype,
