Abstract

Investigating the family consisted of 8 members authors confirmed the diagnosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in 5 cases. Secondly clinical features and echocardiographic data were compared. The clinical symptoms were not proportional to the pattern of hypertrophy revealed by echocardiography. The most significant pattern of hypertrophy was registered in youngest patients most likely due to increased expression and penetration of responsible genes. Considering cardiomyopathy as an inherited disease authors find family screening as a key in understanding and management of the disease.
