Popis: | Background Genetic testing is commonly used in the management of patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Some studies suggest patients who test positive for known markers have a greater risk for adverse outcomes. In addition, the presence of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac MRI (cMRI) has also been associated with poorer outcomes and prognosis. Whether positive genetic testing is a predictor of LGE on cMRI is unknown. |
