Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We investigated the presence of a clinical diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and of risk factors for sudden cardiac death (SCD) at the first cardiological evaluation after predictive genetic testing in asymptomatic carriers of an MYBPC3 gene mutation. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two hundred and thirty-five mutation carriers were cardiologically evaluated on the presence of HCM and risk factors. A...
