CPG protected hearts from ischaemic contracture by attenuating the fall in ATP and removing diastolic Ca by means of NCX in forward mode. Moreover, CPG induces higher CP recovery during reperfusion by participation of SR and NCX in reverse mode. This work remarks the use of CPG based on the functional role of these Ca handling-mechanisms in a pathophysiological condition as ischaemia-reperfusion.

We have identified a founder Roma mutation associated with a highly specific phenotype, which is, from the present cohort, the main cause of CNM in Spain.
