Mutations Linked to Severe CF Seen to Affect Health of Heart’s Left Ventricle in Study
Mutations in the CFTR gene that associate with severe disease can also lead to cardiac problems — specifically, the development of subclinical left ventricular dysfunction — in cystic fibrosis patients, a study suggests. The study, “Subclinical Left Ventricular Dysfunction is Influenced by Genotype Severity in Patients with Cystic…
