New clues about how to prevent aortic aneurysm in patients with Marfan syndrome
sciencedaily.com — “Scientists whose laboratory studies first suggested that an FDA-approved drug, losartan, might prevent the potentially deadly enlargement of the aorta caused by Marfan syndrome now have an even clearer picture of the cellular signals that contribute to the disease. While a clinical trial testing losartan's ability to slow progression of aneurysm in people with Marfan syndrome continues, ongoing research is generating data that will help guide treatment decisions and inform efforts to develop alt” View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Genetic screening for channelopathies
theheart.org — “A new study shows that the cost of genetic testing for inherited cardiac channelopathies is reasonable in those who have a conclusive diagnosis, but for a wider population—those with an uncertain diagnosis, those affected by unexplained VF, or family members of SCD victims—the costs are mostly prohibitive, the researchers conclude. (Bai R et al. Circ Arrhythmia Electrophysiol 2009; 2:6-15.)” View full resource at theheart.org
