Excerpt
Inferoseptal crypts have been previously reported as a marker of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) as well as genotype positive/phenotype negative HCM. We hypothesized that the presence of such crypts would have incremental predictive value for the presence of a disease-causing mutation compared to prediction based solely on left ventricular morphologic pattern of hypertrophy. …
