NEW YORK, Oct. 19, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Lexeo Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq: LXEO) a clinical stage company focused on reshaping the path of genetic diseases with high unmet need, today announced that it will host an educational investor event, “Assessing clinically meaningful arrhythmias in PKP2 arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (PKP2-ACM)” on Wednesday, October 21, 2026 at 1:00 PM ET.
The event will feature a discussion with Narinder Bhalla, M.D., Chief Medical Officer of Lexeo Therapeutics, on the clinical significance of key assessments used in PKP2-ACM, including the evidence supporting their relevance for evaluating disease burden and treatment response, as well as guideline-based approaches for measurement.
He will be joined by Alessio Gasperetti, M.D., Ph.D., a physician-scientist at the Cleveland Clinic specializing in inherited arrhythmia syndromes, cardiomyopathies, ventricular arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death risk stratification. His research focuses on improving diagnosis, risk assessment, and treatment strategies for patients with genetic and structural heart disease and has helped advance the understanding of the natural history of PKP2-ACM including disease progression, arrhythmic burden, clinical outcomes and treatment response under current standards of care. Dr. Gasperetti received his medical degree from the University of Milan and completed post-doctoral fellowships in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) at University Hospital Zurich and the Johns Hopkins University. He earned his Ph.D. in cardiology from Utrecht University and has authored or co-authored more than 150 scientific publications spanning arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, ventricular arrhythmias, and electrophysiology.
