Abstract excerpt
Myocyte disarray and fibrosis are underlying pathologies of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) caused by genetic mutations. However, the extent of their contributions has not been extensively evaluated. In this study, we investigated the effects of genetic mutations on myofiber function and fibrosis patterns in HCM. A total of 133 patients with HCM underwent chamber geometry, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE), and...
