The Sydney Morning Herald has reported study findings from the Centenary Institute that found that concealed cardiomyopathy – heart muscle disease that can cause fatal heart rhythms – is an important cause of sudden cardiac death where no cause is found from autopsy.

Professor Christopher Semsarian AM, Head of the Centenary Institute’s Agnes Ginges Centre for Molecular Cardiology has been recognised by the University of Sydney’s Cardiovascular Initiative (CVI) and been presented with an award for ‘Most Collaborative Cardiovascular Researcher’.

Researchers from the Centenary Institute have found that concealed cardiomyopathy is an important cause of sudden cardiac death where no cause is found from autopsy – and that genetic testing can help identify cases of concealed cardiomyopathy which provides a cause of death and also helps guide care of surviving relatives.
