Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To examine the influence of genotype on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and the potential of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) to detect preclinical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. DESIGN: Prospective, blinded cohort study of myocardial LGE in a genetically homogeneous population. PATIENTS: 30 patients with disease causing mutations in the recognised hypertrophic cardiomyopathy gene for cardiac...
