Abstract
Abstract The heterozygous Phospholamban p.Arg14del mutation is found in patients with dilated or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. This mutation triggers cardiac contractile dysfunction and arrhythmogenesis by affecting intracellular Ca 2+ dynamics. Little is known about the physiological processes preceding induced cardiomyopathy, which is characterized by sub-epicardial accumulation of fibrofatty tissue, and a specific drug treatment is currently lacking. Here, we address these issues using a knock-in Phospholamban p.Arg14del zebrafish model. Hearts from adult zebrafish with this mutation display age-related remodeling with sub-epicardial inflammation and fibrosis. Echocardiography reveals contractile variations before overt structural changes occur, which correlates at the cellular level with action potential duration alternans. These functional alterations are preceded by diminished Ca 2+ transient amplitudes in embryonic hearts as well as an increase in diastolic Ca 2+ level, slower Ca 2+ transient decay and longer Ca 2+ transients in cells of adult hearts. We find that istaroxime treatment ameliorates the in vivo Ca 2+ dysregulation, rescues the cellular action potential duration alternans, while it improves cardiac relaxation. Thus, we present insight into the pathophysiology of Phospholamban p.Arg14del cardiomyopathy.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
