Abstract
Changes in tissue characterization were found in the hearts of HCM gene carriers even in the absence of wall hypertrophy. These results suggest that tissue changes detectable by the acoustic densitometry methods may occur in the hearts of HCM gene carriers without wall hypertrophy, and that they may be detectable at the time of appearance of ECG abnormalities.
