Abstract

Phospholamban (PLN; p.Arg14del) cardiomyopathy is an inherited disease caused by the pathogenic p.Arg14del variant in the PLN gene. Clinically, it is characterized by malignant ventricular arrhythmias and progressive heart failure.1,2 Cardiac fibrotic tissue remodelling occurs early on in PLN p.Arg14del carriers.3,4 Eplerenone was deemed a treatment candidate because of its beneficial effects on ventricular remodelling and antifibrotic properties.5,6 We conducted the multicentre randomized trial ‘intervention in PHOspholamban RElated CArdiomyopathy STudy’ (i-PHORECAST) to assess whether treatment with eplerenone of asymptomatic PLN p.Arg14del carriers attenuates disease onset and progression.
