Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) revealed a substantial variation in the extent of myocardial scarring, a pathological hallmark of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, few data exist regarding the relationship between the presence of gene mutations and the extent of LGE. Therefore, we aimed to investigate whether variations in the extent of LGE in HCM...
