Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Myocardial fibrosis is an important prognostic factor in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, the contribution from a wide spectrum of genetic mutations has not been well defined. We sought to investigate effect of sarcomere and mitochondria-related mutations on myocardial fibrosis in HCM. METHODS: In 133 HCM patients, comprehensive genetic analysis was performed in 82 nuclear DNA (33...
