Abstract

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy has been a well-known genetical transmitted disease entity with the advance of echocardiography. We have recently experienced a family with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy proved by noninvasive methods including chest x-ray,, electrocardiography and echocardiography.
The propositus of this family was a 21 year-old solier who was admitted because of exertional dyspnea during military exercise. Both he and his sister had severely affected hearts with typical echocardiographic findings, asymmetrical septal hypertrophy(ASH) and systolic anterior motion of the anterior mitral leaflet(SAM). The clinical study is reported with the concerned literatures.
