Left Ventricular Strain and Progression of Hypertrophy in Danon Disease Cardiomyopathy: Insights from a Global Registry

Danon Disease (DD) is a rare X-linked disorder due to mutations in the Lysosomal Associated Membrane Protein 2 (LAMP-2) gene. Patients present with cardiac manifestations of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM).
