[Importance of the genetic aspect in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].

Abstract excerpt

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a disease characterised by massive ventricular hypertrophy, reduced diastolic function and excessive ventricular contraction. It involves sections of both ventricles, but in particular the left ventricle. Although it was initially thought that this pathology might depend on a modified systolic function, it is now widely held that the main alteration is of a diastolic type. The paper...
