Clinical Characteristics of the Patient Population. Four hearts (Pat #1–4) were provided by patients who underwent heart transplantation for terminal heart failure in dilative cardiomyopathy (DCM), familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHCM), or ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM). Two hearts (Pat #5-6) were from healthy donors.
