Increased left ventricular torsion in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy mutation carriers with normal wall thickness

BACKGROUND: Increased left ventricular (LV) torsion has been observed in patients with manifest familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), and is thought to be caused by subendocardial dysfunction. We hypothesize that increased LV torsion is already present in healthy mutation carriers with normal...
