Possession of the C34T (Glu12Stop) nonsense mutation in the AMP-deaminase 1 (AMPD1) gene has been shown to be associated with improved prognosis in heart failure and ischemic heart disease. The most likely event leading to these clinical effects is a reduced capacity of the AMP deamination pathway and increased production of cardio-protective adenosine. However, since AMPD1 is predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle, the protective effects could be related not only to local cardiac changes, but also to a systemic mechanism. In the present study we evaluated the effect of the C34T mutation on cardiac AMP-deaminase activity and on the systemic changes in adenosine production.
