This week we delve into the world of myocarditis and cardiogenetics when we review a recent work on deleterious cardiomyopathic genes and a possible role for these in patients who have unfavorable myocarditis outcomes. Are cardiomyopathy genes seen more commonly in pediatric patients with myocarditis who die? Is there a role for genetic testing in the myocarditis patient? How might deleterious genetic defects influence outcomes in myocarditis? We speak with Assistant Professor of Medicine at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Amy Kontorovich who is the first author of this week's work. DOI: 10.1161/CIRCGEN.121.003426
