Usefulness of Doppler myocardial imaging for identification of mutation carriers of familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Abstract excerpt

Because myocyte dysfunction and disarray are early abnormalities in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HC), we tested if Doppler myocardial imaging (DMI) could identify systolic and diastolic dysfunction in mutation carriers (MC) (genotype positive patients without hypertrophy, defined as phenotype negative after conventional screening tests). In a single family with a missense mutation in the myosin binding protein C...
