Abstract excerpt
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease characterized by unexplained left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH), diastolic dysfunction, and increased sudden-death risk. Early detection of the phenotypic expression of the disease in genetic carriers without LVH (Gen+/Phen-) is crucial for emerging therapies. This clinical study aims to identify echocardiographic predictors of phenotypic development in...
