Cardiac amyloidosis

…by autosomal dominant single nucleotide polymorphisms resulting in amino acid substitutions that destabilize the normal tetrameric TTR protein, favoring dissociation, misfolding, and amyloidogenesis [9, 19]…

Relaxation of the left ventricle

…of left and right ventricular contraction. Rapid impulse conduction is crucial; slow spread of the impulse results in temporal dissociation of cellular activation, and thus…
