Abstrakt: The diagnosis of familial cardiomyopathy was established by cardiac catheterization and cineangiography in six patients belonging to the same family. Five patients exhibited obstructive cardiomyopathy of the idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis type, while one displayed myocardial hypertrophy with a dilated poorly contractile left ventricle without obstructive phenomena. These observations support the concept that idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis and idiopathic myocardial hypertrophy represent different manifestations of the same disease. The disease was transmitted as an autosomal mendelian dominant with incomplete penetrance.
