Mutations in the intercalated disc gene are responsible for various cardiomyopathies that can lead to heart failure. [2] Ruptured intercalated discs, in this case regarded as a visual artifact. Ruptured intercalated discs, when seen on histopathology, have two main causes: Microtome sectioning, thereby being a visual artifact. [4]
