Abstract
In this article we present the myocardial deformation imaging (MDI) studies of three daughters of a man with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) who died suddenly. The daughters had been referred for genetic counselling several months earlier. We demonstrate that, despite the absence of conventional two-dimensional echo characteristics of HCM, MDI accurately and easily demonstrated the presence of the disease in the two daughters with the genetic disorder.
