Abstract
Conclusions:
- These data suggest that HCM is associated with increased prevalence of dilated SV, but not MAA.
- The lower odds of DA in HCM patients who were gene positive, suggest that this associated may not be genetically mediated.
- Further studies are required to identify the pathophysiology behind this association.
