Relationship between aetiology and left ventricular systolic dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Conclusions
In adults with HCM, LV systolic dysfunction is more frequent in those with rare phenocopies. When combined with age at presentation, it is a marker for specific aetiologies and is associated with poorer long-term survival.
