Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), an auto-somal dominant disorder due to mutation of genes encoding sarcomeric proteins, leads to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Recently, the research in this area suggests that systolic dysfunction exists in the patients with HCM even though traditional measures of systolic dysfunction are normal. So, we carried out this study to determine global systolic dysfunction in patients with HCM.
