Figure 1From: 227 Early detection of systolic and diastolic dysfunction in asymptomatic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation carriers using cardiac magnetic resonance imagingSystolic and diastolic dysfunction and subsequent left atrial dilation are present in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation carriers before the development of overt hypertrophy. Asymmetric wall thickening is associated with crypt formation with occurs in 82 percent of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation carriers.Back to article page
