🚩🚩Individuals with diabetes are at increased risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) at all ages! 🚩🚩Substantial part of the life expectancy reduction can be attributed to SCD in people with types 1 and 2 diabetes. medscape.com/viewarticle/sud…

Happy to see our recent paper published in #Europace #SCN5A mutations can cause pro-arrhythmic #cardiac structural alterations with age but this is dependent on genetic background Congrats @GA_Marchal and co-authors! @EuropaceEiC @cbezzina1 #Epeeps academic.oup.com/europace/ar…
The final paper from my PhD is out. 🍾 The end of an era! It's about the impact of genetic background on cardiac disease caused by sodium channel dysfunction. Check it out here: academic.oup.com/europace/ar… Thanks to all co-authors, and especially my PhD supervisor @CarolRemme

Definitely not due to an arrhythmia syndrome but indicating the polygenic heritability for sodium channel blocker response and depolarisation reserve in the RVOT ie Brugada syndrome. @rafik_tadros @cbezzina1 @JulienBar4
