Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease characterised by increased left ventricle (LV) wall thickness caused by mutations in sarcomeric genes. Finding a causal mutation can help to better assess the proband's risk, as it allows the presence of the mutation to be evaluated in relatives and the follow-up to be focused on carriers. We performed an observational study of patients with HCM due to the...
