Abstract

Aims Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), frequently caused by sarcomeric gene mutations, is characterized by cellular dysfunction and asymmetric left-ventricular (LV) hypertrophy.We studied whether cellular dysfunction is due to an intrinsic sarcomere defect or cardiomyocyte remodelling. Methods and results Cardiac samples from 43 sarcomere mutation-positive patients (HCM
