Abstract excerpt
AIMS: Preliminary studies suggested that tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) was able to identify mutation carriers in familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) before the development of hypertrophy. However, data are limited. We performed a systematic analysis of echocardiography, TDI, and electrocardiogram (ECG) in familial HCM to identify parameters associated with genetic status. METHODS AND RESULTS: We analysed...
