Abstract excerpt
Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (FHC) is a genetically inherited disorder of heart muscle. Over the past 40 years many studies have been done to describe in detail the clinical presentation of this disease and its associated pathophysiological consequences. The primary focus of this review is to discuss more recent studies involving the genetic mapping of one locus on chromosome 14, which causes FHC, and...
