Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The mitral valve undergoes structural modifications in response to cardiac functional changes, often predating cardiac decompensation and overt clinical signs. Our study assessed the potential of mitral valve morphological changes as early indicators for detecting carriers of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)-associated gene mutations. METHODS: We studied 505 participants: 189 without the pathogenic...
