However, it remains unclear whether a polygenic predisposition to DCM also contributes to these conditions.ObjectiveTo assess the association of a DCM polygenic score with PPCM, ACM, and CCM, and to evaluate the contributions of monogenic and polygenic susceptibilities to these secondary cardiomyopathies.Design, Setting, and ParticipantsThis was a retrospective genetic association analysis of data from the Mass General Brigham (MGB) Biobank (n = 42 137, 2008-2025), with replication in the UK Biobank (n = 295 160, 2005-2010), FinnGen (n = 417 950, 2017-2025), and the Veterans Affairs Million Veteran Program (n = 516 066, 2011-2025). In MGB Biobank, medical records were reviewed to ascertain secondary cardiomyopathy cases and antecedent clinical risk factors.ExposuresDCM polygenic risk score and DCM monogenic variants.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were the association of the DCM polygenic risk score with PPCM, ACM, and CCM and the prevalence of monogenic variants and a high polygenic score among individuals with cardiomyopathy.ResultsThe mean (SD) age in the MGB Biobank was 55.7 (17.0) years at enrollment, and 24 551 (58.3%) were female. Across the 4 study cohorts, 3414 individuals with secondary cardiomyopathy were identified, including 70 with PPCM, 2281 with ACM, and 1063 with CCM. The DCM polygenic score was associated with PPCM (odds ratio [OR], 1.82 per SD; 95% CI, 1.43-2.30), ACM (OR, 1.56; 95% CI,1.34-1.82), and CCM (OR, 1.64; 95% CI,1.24-2.15) (all with P < .001). Monogenic variants were enriched but present in 7 of 113 individuals with medical record-reviewed cardiomyopathy in MGB, while 66 had a high polygenic score, which conferred an approximately 3-fold increased odds of cardiomyopathy. Most individuals with cardiomyopathy lacked antecedent clinical risk factors.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort study, individuals with PPCM, ACM, and CCM were enriched for monogenic DCM variants and a high DCM polygenic score, suggesting a shared genetic susceptibility influenced by distinct environmental precipitants. These findings support a shared genetic architecture between secondary cardiomyopathies and DCM, although additional work with larger numbers of individuals with cardiomyopathy is needed to confirm these findings.","PeriodicalId":14657,"journal":{"name":"JAMA cardiology","volume":"78 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145194882","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data were analyzed from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2025.ExposureTen-year cumulative CVH score, calculated as the area under the CVH score curve from 30 to 40 years of age (range, 0-100 per visit; cumulative range, 0-1000 points × years), based on the American Heart Association's Life's Essential 8 construct.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcomes were CVD events (myocardial infarction, ischemic stroke, heart failure, or cardiovascular death) and kidney events (incident CKD, kidney replacement therapy, or kidney-related death) after 40 years of age among participants.ResultsAmong 241 924 adults (78.1% male [n = 188 871]; all aged 40 years) with 3 or more examination visits (at 30 and 40 years of age and ≥1 visits in between; median number of visits, 8 [IQR, 6-10]), 2748 CVD events and 2085 kidney events occurred over a median follow-up of 9.2 years (IQR, 8.4-10.1). The highest quintile (quintile 5 [Q5]; ≥735 points × years) of cumulative CVH from 30 to 40 years of age was associated with a very low incidence of CVD (0.05% per year; adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.27 [95% CI, 0.22-0.32] vs Q1) and kidney events (0.05% per year; adjusted HR, 0.25 [95% CI, 0.21-0.31] vs Q1) in midlife. Each 100-point × year higher cumulative CVH (eg, 10-point higher CVH score × 10 years) was associated with a 34% lower hazard of CVD events and a 35% lower hazard of kidney events. The associations were similar by sex and for event subtypes and remained significant after adjustment for CVH score at 40 years of age or the slope of CVH change.Conclusions and RelevanceThese findings suggest that a higher cumulative CVH score from 30 to 40 years of age was associated with markedly lower risks of CVD and kidney events in midlife, highlighting the importance of sustained primordial prevention efforts throughout early life.","PeriodicalId":14657,"journal":{"name":"JAMA cardiology","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.0,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145194877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The setting included cardiology and neurology departments of 6 French university hospitals. Study participants were selected from individuals enrolled in the DM1 Heart Registry between 2000 and 2020. The DM1 Heart Registry includes adults with genetically confirmed DM1. Included patients had a history of first EPS after 1999 and no personal history of advanced atrioventricular block or sustained ventricular tachycardia. Study data were analyzed from January to July 2025.ExposuresECG- and EPS-based strategies.Main Outcomes and MeasuresThe primary outcome was MBAEs, defined as sudden cardiac death, resuscitated cardiac arrest, or second-degree type II or complete atrioventricular block.ResultsOf 1778 adults with genetically confirmed DM1 enrolled in the DM1 Heart Registry, a total of 706 patients (mean [SD] age, 42 [13] years; 359 male [51%]) were included in this study. At baseline, 273 patients (38%) had an HV interval greater than or equal to 70 milliseconds, and 232 (32%) met ECG criteria. Over a median (IQR) follow-up of 5.9 (2.3-9.7) years, 99 patients (14%) experienced an MBAE. In multivariable Cox and joint models incorporating baseline and time-varying values of PR and QRS durations, the HV interval was the only variable significantly associated with the incidence of MBAEs (hazard ratio [HR], 1.77; 95% CI, 1.46-2.16; P < .001 and HR, 1.78; 95% CI, 1.40-2.22; P = .001, respectively).

Lowering the threshold to HV greater than or equal to 65 milliseconds further improved sensitivity (performance index [SE], 90.18% [3.85%]) and net reclassification improvement (33.7%; 95% CI, 19.6%-48.2%) for MBAE prediction.Conclusions and RelevanceIn this cohort of patients with DM1, the HV interval outperformed ECG criteria in predicting MBAEs.
